The following figure shows a simple subclient configuration for a File System client computer with one disk drive.
File System client computer with one disk drive. Subclient2 comprises the Sales directory; consequently, the default subclient consists of all other data on the C: drive (Windows) or volume (NetWare) except Sales. Each subclient, when it is backed up or restored, establishes a logical data channel through which data can travel to or from the backup media.
In this configuration, you can schedule the backups of the default subclient and subclient2 either at different times or simultaneously. Splitting the backups into two time periods can be useful if you need to stage the backups of a large client around a particularly busy time of network or client utilization.
