File System

General

DPX vPlus is able to protect file systems mounted on its nodes. Both full and incremental backups are supported.

info

Note:

• DPX vPlus scans for file system changes based on the modification time and size of the file with each incremental backup.
• only regular files, symlinks, and directories are going to be backup
• for file systems, DPX vPlus currently builds images for each backup before uploading data to the specific backup provider, so it doesn't have to upload objects one-by-one - these images will be merged automatically in restore tasks

Complete the following steps to add the file system storage provider.

1. Go to Storage -> Infrastructure and click Add Storage Provider
2. Choose File system as a type and select the node responsible for backup operations
3. Click Save - now you can define file systems in the Storage -> Instances view
