File system

General

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

Note:

  • vProtect 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 backed up

  • for file-systems, vProtect 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

Please 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
