Subclients contain information about what data is backed up. You can create a user-defined subclient to manage and back up specific shares and share contents.
Two different subclients may contain instances the same content. Regardless, the content is backed up for each subclient.
The default subclient does not back up the content that is specified in the other subclients within the same backup set.
