We are currently on Windows 2k running Netbackup 5.0.

I am backing up a mapped Netapp share with Windows user profiles, 4,5
million files totaling to 45GB.

This takes way too lang, almost 48 hours.=20

=20

To save time, I have excluded all folders named Cookies. The job is now
only backing up around 2 million files, but it still takes 48 hours...

=20

Why am I not saving time on this?

Is netbackup still processing every file, even though almost half of
them are excluded?

Anybody know of a way to solve this problem?

=20

=20

Another question, when backing up network shares, shoud I map a drive in
Windows and then back that drive up, or should I type in the path
(\\server\share <file:///\\server\share> ) in the policy?
