Page title

Create backup policies for Unix file systems

Summary

On step 6 for the backup setting schedule frequency there is also another option on the pane which is not listed under this nor the create rg or backup unix filesystem tabs on creating the policy. The option not listed is called custom backup settings. We need information in the document as to examples of what would or can be passed into these fields, as well as why we/customers would use this.

The other two tabs mentioned in which this option should be notated in the steps are:

• https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/snapcenter/protect-scu/task_create_resource_groups_and_attach_policies_for_unix_file_systems.html
• https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/snapcenter/protect-scu/task_back_up_unix_file_systems.html

Also the confluence page has no reference of this option when creating the policy: https://confluence.ngage.netapp.com/display/TOI/Snapcenter+Plugin+for+UnixFileSystems#SnapcenterPluginforUnixFileSystems-Backup

Thank you for contacting us with your feedback. After discussing with Engineering, we will determine how best to address it and update the content at the earliest.

I discussed this issue with Engineering. According to Engineering, the "Custom backup settings" section in the Backup Policy page should not be there for Unix file system plug-in. Engineering needs to remove the section from the UI.

Corresponding Engineering JIRA has been raised: CSNAPC-4200

No doc update required, thus closing the issue.
