Create a User-defined NFS Subclient for Pure Storage FlashArray File

Create user-defined subclients to organize NFS exports into separate backup configurations.

Considerations

• Each subclient protects NFS exports on one NFS interface. To protect exports on another interface, create a separate subclient.

• A subclient can't contain exports from multiple NFS interfaces.

• You can't use the root of the file system (/) as backup content. Select one or more NFS exports instead.

• Duplicate backup content isn't supported within the same backup set. However, the same NFS export can be protected in different backup sets.

• Wildcard backup content isn't supported.

Procedure

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

2. Go to the Files tab, and then click the Pure Storage FlashArray File server.

3. Under Protocols, click NFS.

4. On the Subclients tab, on the right of the page, click Add subclient.

5. In the Name box, enter a display name for the subclient.

6. From the Backup sets list, select the backup set.

7. Click Next.

8. Select the backup plan to associate with the subclient.

9. Click Next.

10. Specify the content to be backed up by the subclient.
