• In order for onQ to back up shared volumes, there are some prerequisite steps that you need follow as outlined in Enable onQ to back up shared volumes.

• When file objects are restored from a NAS backup, the kernel security objects may not be written. The data contents of the file will be restored as it was backed up.

• You cannot specify the size of a vdisk when you create or update the vdisk. This limitation is true for both automatic enrollment and manual enrollment.

• You cannot perform a BMR for CIFS drives. BMR continues to support only fixed drives on protected Windows systems.

• Network shared volumes can be extremely large; therefore, restoring to a specific PN is not an efficient way to retrieve data. Instead, restore the data to a NAS appliance. A BMR can only restore to local drives.

• Recovery Nodes will not include data for a network shared drive. However, Recovery Nodes started in production mode can connect to the configured remote drives.

• When an RN boots as part of a self-test or because you choose to boot it in test mode, the remote mounts will not be accessible.

• Backup performance depends on your PN’s and NAS’s bandwidth, I/O limitations, and other resources.

• File Backup Only option cannot be used with a remote drive.

• See the CIFS limitation outlined in Agent‑less PN Enrollment Limitations.
