Subclient Properties (Content)

Use this tab to add, modify or view the contents of a selected subclient. Note that all the options described in this help may not be available and only the options displayed in the dialog box are applicable to the agent for which the information is being displayed.

Contents of subclient

Displays a list of paths of data included as content for this subclient. Special characters (such as "\" "/" "." ",") represent content of the default subclient, that is not assigned to other subclients within the backup set.

When a symbolic link is included in the subclient content, the target of the symbolic link along with the link itself can be displayed.

Follow Mount Points

Indicates whether the data in the mount point is backed up. This option does not apply to block level backups.

Starting Commvault Platform Release 2023E (11.32), the Follow Mount Points field is moved to the subclient Content section. Prior to the release, the Follow Mount Points field was available in the Advanced Backup Options and at the schedule policy level. For subclients upgraded to Commvault Platform Release 2023E, the Follow Mount Points field provides following options:

• ON: Select this option to back up data in the mount point. This is the default value for new clients or subclients.

• OFF: Select this option to exclude data in the mount point during backup.

• Inherit from Schedule: This option is available only for subclients upgraded to Commvault Platform Release 2023E. The following behavior applies:

  • If a backup is triggered from a schedule, the mount point data is backed up based on the schedule policy configuration.

  • For manual backups, the mount point data is backed up irrespective of the schedule policy configuration.

Note: To change the behavior of the Follow Mount Point for upgraded clients, navigate to the subclient Content page and select ON or OFF. Once you select either of the new options, the Inherit from Schedule option is not available.
