Backing Up with the Network Share IntelliSnap Backup for CIFS Shares

Use the backup operation to protect your data.

Before You Begin

• If the content of the subclients overlap, then the backup of each share is done individually.

• After you create a backup copy either inline, or offline, the last snapshot backup job which was backup copied is retained in addition to the regular retention.

• CIFS subclient user must have rights to read/write to the local path of the proxy computer.

• For IntelliSnap backups, the application size shown in the job history can change after you run the Backup Copy job.

• The initial snap backup reports the used volume or LUN size.

• After the Backup Copy job runs, the application size for both the snap job and the Backup Copy job may update to a much smaller value.

By design, IntelliSnap tracks size metrics, and the accurate application size is available only after the Backup Copy job determines it.

Procedure

1. From the CommCell Browser, expand Client Computers > NAS client > file system agent > backup set.

   The Backup Options for Subclient dialog box appears.
