Michael,

  I vaguely remember that issue.  However, I think in your case, NetWorker was 
correct that the
system considered your E: drive to be critical.  In my case, WSB (using the 
commands EMC
provides in esg122599) says the S: drive is NOT critical, yet NetWorker's 
DISASTER_RECOVERY:\
save set insists that OSSR_S (all 4TB of data) is part of what is critical.  
I'm at the point
in my SR where the level 1 tech is struggling to recreate the problem on their 
systems.
