# Performing File System Backups

Back up your file system data.

Important

When backing up Azure File Sync stubs in the configured backup path, the backup job reads the actual file data directly from the cloud tier and transfers it to the backup media without recalling the stub to local storage.

While the configured path is backed up completely, this behavior may result in increased Azure egress charges.

To automatically filter out all Azure File Sync stubs and back up only the actual files, enable the SkipAzureFileSyncStubs additional setting.

## Procedure

1. From the Command Center navigation pane, go to Protect > Files.

   The Overview page appears.

2. Go to the Files tab, and then click the file server.

   The file server page appears.

3. Go to the Subclients tab.

4. In the Actions column for the subclient, click the action button , and then click Backup.

   The Backup dialog box appears.

5. Under Backup options, select the backup type.

   The selected backup type determines how the backup runs. For more information, see File Server Backups.
