I don't know how valid the tests are unless you use ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES 
WITHOUT any include or exclude lists.
You'd need to force it to do the vxfs filesystems first.  I don't know if 
NetBackup parses the mnttab or the vfstab, though.

If they parse the vfstab, you could easily hack it to put the vxfs 
filesystem first in the list.
If they parse mnttab, you could hack that, but I'd do it on a test system. ;)

Anyone?
