Creating a Subclient for NFS Exports of Azure NetApp Files

You can create a user-defined subclient to backup specific NFS exports of Azure NetApp Files.

If the subclients for a file server contain some of the same content, then the Commvault software backs up each export individually. The default subclient does not back up the content that is contained in the other subclients within the same backup set.

Before You Begin

Ensure the following:

• The data access node that will participate in the backup operation has the File System Agent and MediaAgent packages installed.

• The access node has access to the Azure subscription.

Procedure

1. From the CommCell Browser, expand Client Computers > Azure NetApp Files client > Linux File System.

2. Right-click the backup set, point to All Tasks, and then click New Subclient.

   The New Subclient dialog box appears.

3. In the Subclient Name box, type a name for the new subclient.

4. On the Content tab, add the paths to the content you want to back up:

   1. To browse and select the exports available on the on file server, click Browse.

      The Browse Configuration dialog box appears.

   2. From the Access Node list, click the access node to use to browse for the exports.

   3. Click OK.

      The Browsing contents dialog appears.

   4. Click the NFS export (interface or volume) that you want to backup, and then click Add.

5. Click the Storage Device tab.

6. Frm the Storage Policy dropdown, select a storage policy.

7. Click Advanced.

8. In the IntelliSnap Operations tab, select the IntelliSnap check box and then select Microsoft Azure Snap from the Available Snap Engines dropdown list. For more information, see Subclient Properties (IntelliSnap Operations).

9. On the Data Access Nodes tab, under Available Data Access Nodes, select the access nodes that will participate in the backup operation, and then click Add.

10. Click OK.
