Hi,

I’m wondering if it is possible to archive DFS files. One approach would be to backup DFS as a network share, but then the recall process would not be as transparent as archive on normal file server, so that’’s not my first choice. It seems like a better solution would be to just install Driver for File Archiver on every DFS node and archive files from one of them, but that way there is no HA in case archiving node is down. Since I cannot find anything in the documentation regarding DFS archive I’m not even sure if that is a supported solution. I’m just guessing here.

Can anyone advice what would be the best approach here?

HI @Robert Horowski 

Regarding the DFS Archive, yes its supported but if you have DFSR (Replication) is not compatible with stub recalls. This is due to a Microsoft known issue. Ref: https://documentation.commvault.com/commvault/v11/article?p=112347.htm

For Creating an Archiving Subclient follow this BOL: https://documentation.commvault.com/commvault/v11/article?p=112981.htm

Best Regards,

Sebastien

Hi @Sebastien Merluzzi 

You are right, I was thinking about DFS Replication.

That is exactly what I was looking for, but unfortunately searching for “dfs” didn’t give me any meaningful results. Thanks for letting me know and the link to the documentation page. Guess that explains everything there is to it.
