You must mean something other than FCP attached SAN disk, as they appear 
as plain normal disks on Windows servers and definitely are picked up by 
ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES.   Are you using iSCSI, or NAS disks?  If NAS then you 
will need to 'cross mount points', as most backup products assume you 
would backup the data on the file server, not the client.  I don't know 
how iSCSI behaves, but I had thought it too was presented by the OS as a 
local disk.

You should not need extra policies.

[Veritas-bu] ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES






 
Hi, we have a number of Windows servers that have SAN attached disk 
drives. The ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES directive does not back up these drives so I 
assume we have to explicitly include them in a policy (we don't have the 
SAN media server option). 
 
The documentation (6.0) for ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES says that it must be the only 
entry in the backup selections list. Do you therefore need one policy for 
the local drives and one for the SAN attached drives?
 
We had hoped to have a minimal number of policies so what does everyone 
else do in this situation?
 
Regards
 
Richard
