Hi,

This 'feature' appeared in Version 3.2. With Version 3.1.5 the whole disk was
correctly backed up. The problem concerns only the disk where you install
 the Netbackup SW. Others disk are correclty processed.

A side effect: as we corrected all the files lists from  X: to X:\, an 
'incremental full' backup
 was performed (I mean an incremental backup where all files are backed up) for 
each.

Regards

        Guillaume
