Subject: [Veritas-bu] Backing up Vista on 5.1?
Hi Folks,
Has anyone had any luck backing up Windows Vista with Netbackup 5.1? (I know
Vista is only official supported in 6.x).
We are trying to back up a Vista box on a Solaris NB5.1MP6 media server.
We are seeing that Netbackup is incorrectly following Vista junction points
(similar to "hard-links" in unix) even though "Cross mount points is not
selected". This causes duplicate data to be backed up. In Vista, there are
user profiles junctions that loop back to itself. When Netbackup encounters
these, it attempts to traverse the junction until it reaches the 1024byte
filename limit (watch out if you have to restore this!). This results in
many status "1" errors.
About Vista junction points:

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/Aa819663.aspx
According to Microsoft, a special API must be used in order to properly
traverse a filesystem otherwise. Supposedly this is built into Vista's VSS
service (really only supported for Windows 2003 server on Netbackup
5.x).
As a work around, we tried backing up a Vista box by selecting VSS for the
open file option but it appears that Netbackup is still traversing the Vista
junction points.
Has anyone else had any luck with backing up Vista?
Thanks,
