Setting a virtual mount point

If you are an authorized user and you want to back up files beginning with a specific directory within a file system, you can define that directory as a virtual mount point.

Defining a virtual mount point within a file system provides a direct path to the files you want to back up, saving processing time. It is more efficient than defining the file system with the domain option and then using an exclude option to exclude the files you do not want to back up. It also allows you to store backups and archives for specific directories in separate storage file spaces.
