Subclients contain information about what data is backed up. You can create a user-defined subclient to manage and back up specific data files.
You can create subclients for the document backup set to assign different backup schedules to certain files and folders. You can also use a Documents subclient to restore individual documents or folders from the SharePoint server without restoring the entire database. This is useful if you need to quickly restore a single file or folder.
Multi-streaming uses multiple data streams per subclient for backup jobs. Multi-Streaming enables the subclient's contents to be distributed to all streams, transmitting them in parallel to the storage media. Hence, a subclient whose data is secure using three data streams uses more of the available network resource.
Note
When you create a user-defined subclient, the contents of the user-defined subclient will be excluded from the default subclient.
Procedure
-
From the CommCell Browser, expand Client Computers > client > SharePoint Server.

Repeat this step to include all the entities that you want to backup.

A subclient with the content that you want to back up is created under the document backup set that you selected.
