# Creating a User-Defined Backup Set

You can create user-defined backup sets to group a set of selected data. A user-defined backup set contains its own default subclient.

Note

If you create a user-defined backup set, you cannot perform incremental or differential backup operations for any backup set. However, for NetApp and Dell EMC Isilon/PowerScale NDMP clients, there are no limitations on the type of backup operations that you can perform on any type of backup set.
