There was a post some time ago about this very point.

If you used ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES and the first fs type is 
backed up was VxFS and the subsequent fs types were 
different it would not backup the different type.

I'm sure if someone did a search of the archives it 
would be discovered...I don't have the time now.

I also had a student of mine bring it up during an Adv. 
NBU Class.

PS. I have not had the opportunity to verify this, 
however.
