Hi,
Is it possible to backup the NFS drive mounted from the Client. I tried to add mount path in the subclient properties under content tab. Then run the backup but its failed.
If possible what is the proper way to backup the nfs mount path from the Client.

Hi
NFS backups are fully supported. Could you please share the subclient content screenshot as well as FileScan.log from the client?

Hi @SparshGupta
Does it mean I need to enable the “ignoreFStype” from Client properties, additional advance settings to be able to backup the skipped FS (e.g nfs3 or nfs4) ? As I did not yet enable the said settings.

Hey
#1 - If you directly give the NFS mounted path as subclient content, then no additional settings are needed.
#2 - However, if your subclient content, let’s say is root i.e. “/”, in that case, it’s needed. But please note that, with the additional setting in place, all the nfs shares will be qualified for backup.
If you just need to backup a single NFS mounted share, #1 would be a better approach. If the intention is to backup all NFS mounts, then go with #2.

Hi @SparshGupta
Below is the Subclient contents. The red arrow pointing to NFS mount path and the /tmp is to test the directory from local filesystem. Let me know if there is additional settings need to be able to success in backing up the nfs mount path.

No additional settings are needed. Since the paths are directly specified as subclient content, that should have sufficed.
1- What service pack are you on?
2 - Could you please share FileScan.log from the client? It would be under location /var/log/commvault/Log_Files.
Thanks,

Hi @SparshGupta,
Attached is the filescan.log. Below shows excerpt of the logs I can see file system type “NFS” was skipped. Does this means we need to enable “ignoreFStype” from client? Kindly help to advise further.
we are using version 11.20.

Hi
You don’t need to add “ignoreFStype” key if the NFS path is directly specified as subclient content.
I could see that, 899 items (including files & folders), qualified for backup for this job. “/tmp” seems to have only 572 sample count, so others might be from “/ISDP_agents”
#1 - Did the job complete successfully?
#2 - Can you please share the jobresults directory “/ISDP_agents/commvault/JobResults/2/574”?
#3 - Do you see any Failures count for the job?
#4 - Does browse and restore not show any files under “/ISDP_agents”?
#5 - Could you please share output of “mount” command?
