I was afraid I would not explain it well enough.

Specifically, I have a client that is a large fileserver. To keep the backups within the 24 hour window, I have split the filesystems into two client definitions with the filesystems divided between the two clients, so I'm not using "ALL".

Now, the question is what do I do to catch the system admin that adds another filesystem to this fileserver and forgets to tell me.

Do you have a script you run, or do you define a third client using "ALL" as the saveset and create a directive to ignore all the filesystems you do know about?

Thanks,
  Frank

Hi Frank,
        You are definitely speaking Greek here :).
        I think you mean to say is that you are using "All" as saveset
but have noticed that few of the OS partitions are missing (most of the
time mount points). One way to work a way around this problem is by
using "save -xL" also, in case you are see that you have an entry for
the mounted partition in fstab (or equivalent depending on the OS).

Anyone have a script they use for those clients that need fine grain
ssid control (instead of
using ALL) to catch the drives or filesystems that fall through the
cracks?

Or does everyone set up a directive and use ALL in another client
definition and group to catch
the ones that fall through the cracks?

Or am I speaking Greek?

Thanks,
