You can create a user-defined subclient to back up specific NFS exports and content.
If the subclients for a file server contain some of the same content, then the Commvault software backs up each export individually. The default subclient does not back up the content that is contained in the other subclients within the same backup set.
Important
-
The content of a subclient must use either the auto-mount format or the mount point format, but not both. If you need to add content that uses a different format, create another subclient.
-
Auto-mount format: The content path begins with the file server interface. For example, file_server_interface:/NFS_export_path.
-
Mount point format: The content path includes the mount point. For example, /mount/nfs.
-
-
Data that is backed up with a subclient that uses the auto-mount format must be restored with an out-of-place restore operation. In-place restore operations are not supported.
Procedure
-
From the CommCell Browser, expand Client Computers > client > Linux File System.
-
Right-click the backup set, point to All Tasks, and then click New Subclient.
The Subclient Properties dialog box appears.
-
In the Subclient Name box, type a name for the new subclient.
-
On the Content tab, add the paths to the content you want to back up:
-
To browse and select the exports available on the on file server, click Browse.
The Browse Configuration dialog box appears.
-
From the Proxy list, click the proxy to use to browse for the exports.
-
Click OK.
The Browsing contents dialog appears.
-
Click the NFS export that you want to backup, and then click Add.
-
-
On the Storage Device tab, in the Storage Policy list, click a storage policy name to associate with the subclient.
-
On the Data Access Nodes tab, under Available Data Access Nodes, select the access nodes that will participate in the backup operation, and then click Add.
-
Click OK.
