Adding Backup Content for Laptop Users

The default backup set for all clients will be associated to a subclient policy provided during custom package creation. If you wish to modify the content of a subclient backup set associated with the subclient policy, you can disassociate the client from the subclient policy and modify the content of the subclient.

Procedure

1. From the CommCell Console, navigate to Policies > Subclient Policies.

2. Right-click the subclient_policy and click Properties.

3. In the Properties for Subclient Policy dialog box, click the Association tab.

4. Expand the client and clear the Backup_Set checkbox for which you wish to change the association.

5. Click OK.

   Your client is now disassociated from the Subclient Policy.

6. From the CommCell Console, expand client computer > File System > defaultBackupSet.

7. Right-click the default subclient and click Properties.

8. In the Subclient Properties dialog box, click the Content tab.

   Browse for content

   Click Browse, expand the CommServe node, and click the folder that contains the file you want to back up.

   You can select the content of the subclient policy depending upon the files and folders that you want to backup from the laptop clients.

   When the user installs the Installation package on a laptop, a Content Library folder is created automatically. The Content Folder library is a pre-defined library that contains frequently used files such as images, audio, video etc. You can select the required content category under the Content Library and add it to the subclient content.

   Adding the Boot Camp Drive

   In the Enter new content box, type the absolute path of the boot camp drive that you want to backup. For example, type the following to back up abc.txt file in the boot camp drive:

   /Volumes/Windows/Users/Chris/Documents/abc.txt

   Use wildcards to add content

   In the Enter new content box, type the path of the file or folder with wildcard characters. For example:

   *.docx

   C:\**\.doc

   D:\**\*.jpeg

   C:\temp\doc*

   C:\temp\doc*\**

   NOTE: For more information about wildcards and regular expressions, see Supported Wildcards in Regular Expressions.

9. Click Add. The content is added under Contents of Subclient.

   Repeat this step if you want to add more files and/or folders for the backup.

10. When you are finished, click OK.
