Before you begin
Before creating a File system backup set, you must ensure that the following requirements are met:
• Be ready to provide the required credentials for the DS-Client to access the backup source.
• When creating a set for backing up data on the local DS-Client computer, you have the option of using the DS-Client service’s account credentials to connect to the local DS-Client computer. If you plan to use the DS-Client service’s account credentials, ensure that you have logged on to the DS-Client using an Administrator account or equivalent before attempting to create the backup set.
• (Applicable only to the backup of NAS devices) For NetApp NAS volumes, there is a volume configuration option that enables accessing the snapshot file for CIFS when browsing the NetApp volumes. Ensure that this option is selected. Otherwise, the DS-Client will not be able to access the snapshot.
