Processing NAS file systems

Edit online

Use the exclude.fs.nas option to exclude file systems from NAS image backup processing.

Windows operating systemsLinux operating systemsNote: The exclude.fs.nas option does not apply to a snapshot difference incremental backup.

A NAS file system specification uses the following conventions:

  • NAS nodes represent a unique 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 exclude statement applies. If you do not specify a NAS node name, the file system identified applies to all NAS file servers.
  • Regardless of the client platform, NAS file system specifications use the forward slash (/) separator, as in this example: /vol/vol0.
For example, to exclude /vol/vol1 from backup services on all NAS nodes, specify the following exclude statement: 
exclude.fs.nas */vol/vol1
