Processing NAS file systems

Use the include.fs.nas option to bind a management class to NAS file systems and to control whether Table of Contents information is saved for the file system backup.

Note: The include.fs.nas option does not apply to incremental snapshot difference incremental backup.

A NAS file system specification uses the following conventions:

NAS nodes represent a new node type. The NAS node name uniquely identifies a NAS file server and its data to the backup-archive client. You can prefix the NAS node name to the file specification to specify the file server to which the include statement applies. If you do not specify a NAS node name, the file system you specify applies to all NAS file servers.
Regardless of the client operating system, NAS file system specifications use the forward slash (/) separator, as in this example: /vol/vol0.
NAS file system designations that are specified on the command line require brace delimiters ({ and }) around the file system names, such as: {/vol/vol0}. Do not use brace delimiters if you specify this option in the option file.

Use the following syntax:

Where:

pattern: Specifies the objects to include for backup services, to assign a specific management class, or to control TOC creation. You can use wildcards in the pattern.
mgmtclassname: Specifies the name of the management class to assign to the objects. If a management class is not specified, the default management class is used.
toc=value: For more information, see Toc.

Example 1: To assign a management class to the /vol/vol1 file system of a NAS node that is called netappsj, specify the following include statement:

include.fs.nas netappsj/vol/vol1 nasMgmtClass toc=yes

Example 2: To assign the same management class to all paths that are subordinate to the /vol/ file system on a NAS node called netappsj (for example, /vol/vol1, /vol/vol2, and /vol/vol3), specify the following include statement:

include.fs.nas netappsj/vol/* nasMgmtClass toc=yes
