Applies To: Celerra/VNX/VNXe
Use this option to perform block level backup of an entire volume. This can be used to facilitate faster full and incremental backups. When using this option, the entire volume is backed up ignoring any filters specified in the subclient content.
You can perform a granular restore of individual files and folders from a volume based back up.
Note
Files that were de-duplicated using the Celerra file system and were later backed up using the Volume-based backup option may fail to be restored individually. To restore these files, you must perform a full destructive restore. For more information, see VBB Full Destructive Restore.
