For NFS share, you must mount the NFS share on a computer where the UNIX file system agent package is installed.
-
For IBM Spectrum Scale (GPFS) and Lustre, install the File System package on your data access node.
-
For Hadoop (HDFS), install the Hadoop package on your data access node.

Archive sets are logical groupings of subclients that contain data to be archived. You can create user-defined archive sets to manage specific data.
-
Optional: Create a subclient for archiving..
Archiving subclients are logical containers of data to be archived. When you create an archive set, a default subclient is automatically created. The default subclient contains the data, plan, filters, and exceptions that you added when you created the archive set.
You can create additional user-defined subclients to manage specific data.
-
When you run an archive operation, the files that meet the archiving rules are stubbed.
-
You can recall your archived data from any computer other than a computer used as a data access node.
