After installing the Windows File System Core and Windows File System packages on the data access nodes, you must configure a network share client, an archive set, and a subclient to manage your network file system data.
When you configure the network share client to back up CIFS shares, make sure to select only Windows clients as data access nodes.
Delayed archiving prevents data loss in the event that you must perform a disaster recovery (DR) restore. For more information about delayed archiving, see Delayed Archiving.
If your production environment is configured with antivirus software, see Recommended Antivirus Exclusions for Windows.
