File System

General

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

Note.

  • 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, 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 -> Storage Providers and click Create

  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
