Hi Paul,
=20
Yes the cross mount points option is selected; basically it is set up as
a standard Windows policy with the following options:
=20
Policy type:                    MS-Windows-NT
Cross mount points:        Yes
Files:                              /F/snapshots
=20
Everything else is pretty much standard.
=20
It returns a status code 0 but only backs up the directory snapshots and
none of the snapshot folders underneath it.
=20
Steve.

Have you double checked the "cross mount points" option is turned on in
the policy for those machines?

        Hi, I have encountered an issue backing up snapshots created on
a Windows server by a third party application (I believe it maybe called
Double-Take) and was hoping someone would be able to advise me as to how
I should set up the policy to back up the necessary snapshot Directory
and files. According to the guys who are creating the snapshots they are
being presented as mount points in windows explorer, and they have
assured me that all snapshots are available via explorer and that any
normal read operation should be permitted on it. However the backups
just do not appear to be able to 'see' the snapshot files that have been
created.

        I a using Netbackup Datacentre v4.5 MP6 and the client in
question is running Windows 2003.=20

        Any help/suggestions on how to set this up will be gratefully
received.=20

        Thanks in advance,=20

        Steve.=20
