I am completely confused. I have a 7.6.2 AFTD storage node, running 
Win2008 R2. I have a job with a saveset of ALL. It also has a directive 
that skips most of the folders on drive E: by name. What seems to be 
happening is that the DISASTER_RECOVERY: saveset (which is part of the 
ALL) seems to be trying to back up all the folders on drive E:, and so I 
am having space issues on my AFTD device (since VSS and NW seem to both be 
using the same drive).

What does the DISASTER_RECOVERY: need to be saving on the E: drive, which 
is not the system drive? Isn't the DISASTER_RECOVERY: for recovering the 
OS from a bare metal recovery? Why is it getting anything from drive E:, 
which is not the boot/system drive? In the snippet below, you see that 
DISASTER_RECOVERY: failed while trying to backup E:\oldusers. Why is it 
even looking at *anything* on drive E:, especially something that is 
explicitly SKIPped in a directive??

What I had been trying was to get all the VSS: related savesets, the 
DISASTER_RECOVERY: and the C: drive, in this job. Then later another job 
would get the E: drive, so the combination of the 2 jobs would constitute 
a FULL backup to AFTD disk.

On my other storage 7.6.2 Win2008 R2 storage nodes, this is not happening. 
The DISASTER_RECOVERY: saveset is not trying to get a full backup of any 
drive except C:.

Here's the job email:
