I'm looking to restore data for a Mac OSX client that has a firewire drive 
directly attached.
I didn't set up the policies for these client and don't have much Mac OSX 
experience, and am trying to figure out how this all works.

Looking at the disk layout it appears that the Firewire drive is mounted as 
"/Volumes/Firewire":

macosxclient:~ root# df -k

  /automount/Servers
automount -static [306]                          0          0         0   100%  
  /automount/static

  /Volumes/BOB

Unfortunately, i'm not seeing any data in the restore window under the 
directory /Volumes/Firewire.  There is a directory present in the restore 
window but no data below it...

My backup policy uses the "ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES" file directive, with "Follow NFS" 
and "Cross mount points" NOT selected.  Does this cover an external firewire 
drive or do I need to specify those mount points explicitly?
If it does include the firewire drives- am I looking in the right place for 
where the data on this firewire drive would be located for a restore (the 
/Volumes directory or is there another path I should check)?

peace,
