Mass Subclient creation

Hi,

 

We have around 500 clients that backup a specific directory with a short retention. We now need a longer retention for a specific folder (10 years). As we can’t have different retentions for different folders in a plan, we need to create a second subclient on every existing clients and associate it with a long retention plan.

I’m trying to figure out if there is a simple way to mass create those subclients at a client group level or if I need to script it with qcreate or Rest Api commands.

Couple of different ways to go about it.

 

The easiest is using subclient policies.

  1. Create subclient policy.
  2. Create Group containing the clients you wish to modify.
  3. Associate subclient Policy to the Group.
