Selection on Windows 2008 MasterServerfor Unix Servers.
We use the
ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES as our backup selection on Solaris OS backups and then have
exclude lists on each host to make sure we don’t back up any application
specific files (like oracle dbf, rdo and arc files) which will get backed up
using other policies. As mentioned below, selecting the “cross mount
points” check box can lead to HUGE backups being taken because it will attempt
to backup data residing on NFS shares etc… For example, we have our Data
Domain appliances mounted as NFS shares on some of our Solaris servers.
If we used the “Cross Mount Points” option each OS backup would attempt to
backup 100+TB of compressed data residing on the Data Domain appliances.
This is obviously not required.

Door files on
Solaris, socket files on any flavor of UNIX/Linux, /proc and others are special
files that can’t be backed up and don’t need to be as they are created on the
fly on the system on which they exist. To prevent your backup with
exiting with a status 1 (which means generally successful) you could add the
files complained about to your exclude list.
The autofs stuff is
for NFS mounts. In addition to cross mount points you’d have to
enable crossing NFS boundaries. Note that this generally is NOT necessary
or desirable because the files are typically backed up on the system that
exported the NFS share. On the Solaris host if you do “df /home” it
should show you which system the share was exported from and you should be able
to verify whether that system is being backed up separately.
You do NOT want to
backup /net as it is shortcut to all visible shares whether they are used on
the system or not so you might end up backing up data from multiple other
systems that a) is being backed up on those systems already and b) is not
actually necessary for the running of the system you’re currently backing
up. Here again I’d suggest adding /net at least to your exclude and /home
if it is in fact being backed up from the system that exports it to this one.

Dear All,
We have setting up a Master/Media server running on Windows 2008 (64
bit) server. Where I am trying to do a backup of Sun Solaris clients.
In the Standard Backup Policy. In the Policy attributes I am using
“cross mount points” and in backup selection “/” i.e. I want to backup the
whole root file system
But during the backup, I am not able to cover the whole root file
system and it is keep skipping some of the files.
