Dell EMC Avamar for Windows Servers 19.7 User Guide

PDF

Windows Server 2019, 2016, or 2012 for SOFS or SMB cluster requirements

In Windows Server 2019, 2016, or 2012 for SOFS or SMB clusters, Avamar can back up and restore file system data on both a Scale-Out File Server (SOFS) and a clustered file server for general use.

If a cluster includes file system data on both a SOFS and a clustered file server for general use, then you can include both types of file servers in a single on-demand or scheduled backup. However, the backup process creates two different shadow copy sets in the same backup, one for the SOFS data and one for the general file server data.

NOTE Backup fails when there are encrypted files and folders on shares on a clustered file server for general use and the proxy node is not the owner node for the file server. Non-encrypted files and folders on the file server are backed up successfully. You can restore the non-encrypted files and folders from the failed backup.
