We also list the specific save sets, but I would prefer to have a save
set of "All".

Doesn't NetWorker complain when it tries to back up the volumes housing
Exchange when you use "All" instead of listing the non-Exchange portions
of the server?

Thanks.
Teresa

I recall similar issues and have listed the system state and local OS
drives in one client def and then the exchange backup in another.

Procedures dictate that if there is a change to the box, the backup
admins must know.

Just my $0.02.

Cheers,
Jim

I sent this on the weekend, so I don't know if it was missed...anyone 
have any ideas? I've got to add two more storage nodes this week...
