Over time, new items are created to accommodate new data. By default, a
subclient performs a discovery process at the beginning of each backup. The auto
discovery process detects any new data types and automatically assigns them to
the default subclient.
While this feature ensures that all the new data types will be automatically
backed up as part of the default subclient, you may want to assign the new data
types to specific subclients. To do this, you can conduct the discovery process
and assign the data types yourself.
Required Capability: See
Capabilities and Permitted Actions
To discover and assign new
data types:
- From the CommCell Browser, right-click the iDataAgent
for which you want to discover new data types, click All Tasks and then click Configure. Alternatively, you can perform this using the Configure button on the
Subclient Properties
(Content) tab.
- From the
Add/Modify
Subclients dialog box, click the Discover button.
- When the discovery process completes, the Add/Modify Subclients dialog box is redisplayed. The
dialog box displays the data types that have already been assigned plus any newly
discovered data types that have not been assigned. The unassigned data types are those that
have no entry in the Subclient column.
- To assign these data types, click the Subclient field of each data type that you want to
assign and select the desired subclient from the list. Alternatively, you can select and
assign a range of data types to a single subclient using the Change
all selected data types to list.
Regardless of the assignment method, your choices always include:
- The default subclient
- Any user-defined subclients
- The Do Not Backup subclient
- To register your data type assignments with the system, click Apply.
- If you have no other data types to assign, click OK.
