Configuring Open File Support
You configure Open File Support (OFS) after you install the Window client.
About this task
If the Open File Support feature is configured, the backup-archive client performs a snapshot-based, file-level operation, during which the real volume is available to other system applications. A consistent image of the volume is maintained during the operation.
To configure OFS, perform the following steps:
Procedure
- Start the Windows client Java GUI (run dsm.exe).
- Select .
- Select Help me configure Online Image Support and click Next.
- Click Next again.
- Select the VSS snapshot provider to enable Open File Support or select None to perform normal (non-snapshot) backups of the files on your volume; then click Next.
- Click Apply and then click Finish.
Results
To set preferences for open file support, use the Include-Exclude tab on the Preferences editor. You can set these options for all volumes or for individual volumes using the include.fs option: snapshotproviderfs, presnapshotcmd, postsnapshotcmd
