I would not use the default subclient and will create some subclients with the volumes I am interested to protect

Hello,

Thank you for your answer.We do NOT a NDMP backup, we backup NFS and CIFS Shares with Snapdiff option.

Faster Incremental Backups for NAS File Servers Using NetApp SnapDiff (commvault.com)

Got it, if using network share you have to define the CIFS or NFS shares you are interested to protect, I find a bit hard to understand what do you mean with “configured some exclusions of shares”, this means that you filtered some shares to exclude?

If you don’t want to include a specific share then you don’t define it within the subclient content so no need to exclude them in Filters tab as an exclusion. If each share corresponds to a volume, only snapshots will be created for the content defined.

In default subclient 4 shares were excluded, but backup created a snapshot of the volumes containing these excluded shares. So you mean it would be better to create subclients for any single share (volume) to control the backup and snapshot creation?

what does means that 4 shares were excluded? are they defined in the subclient content or not?

For troubleshotting purposes it can be good to add a share one by one to see if snapshot arecreated in the respective NetApp volume

Hi,

Default subclient is like a “Catch all” Backup.

So everything that is not configured in another subclient is backed up there.

So in your case the best way is do disable the Default subclient and create a new subclient per share...
