Managing a container

On the <type> Device page, you can view the list of containers or storage groups for the device. To save your choice, select Remember this selection. By default, Containers is selected.

For each container, the <type> Device page displays Storage Utilization information as well as the following information:

Actions: Options for container-related tasks.
Container Name: Name of the container.
Storage Group Name: Name of the group to which the container is assigned.
Attached To NetVault Backup: Yes or No (If the container is attached to the NetVault Backup or not).

By default, the table is sorted by Container Name (descending order).

To view the page size setting, sorting order in the table, export the records, or edit table settings, click the icons at the lower-right corner of the table. For more information, see Customizing tables in NetVault Backup WebUI.

You can use the Search option to filter the table data and quickly find entries that contain the specified string. You can also include wildcards (“?” or “*”) in the search filter string.

You can create and manage a container from the <type> Device page and configure the options described in the following sections:

1
On the <type> Device page, with the Containers option selected, click Create Container.
2
In the Create Container dialog box, select the storage group, and type the name of the container.
