Creating File Backup Jobs

To protect files and folders on the file share, configure a file backup job. The backup job defines how, where and when to back up data from the file share. One job can be used to protect one or more file shares. Jobs can be started manually or scheduled to run automatically at a specific time.

File backup jobs are used to protect the following sources of unstructured data:

• File servers (Windows and Linux)
• File shares (NFS and SMB (CIFS)
• Enterprise storage systems added as NAS filers

You can create the file backup job in one of the following ways:

• Create file backup jobs using console.
• Create file backup jobs using web UI.
