Hi Paul
An Incremental will ONLY treat the new drive as FULL Backup - as its never
touched it :-)

Subject: [Veritas-bu] changing backup selection in a policy


I don't have a windows client in the lab at the moment, otherwise I would
test this myself and not bother you fine folks. I feel like I should know
this, but I've been burned by assumptions/beliefs before.

I currently have a windows policy with several clients and a "backup
selections" list of C:\, D:\ and System_State:\ One of the machines has a
new volume added mounted as E:\, so I want to add E:\ to the list......will
adding an entry for E:\ in the list trip the policy up so as to run all
incremental backups as "FULL"? I don't mind that this one client will pick
up the E:\ drive as "changed since full" untill the next full, as it isn't
too big.

I think not, as the policy name has not changed....each client should go on
as usual, knowing it previously had a good FULL with the same policy name,
search the system for the new drive letter, then move on, if it doesn't
exist....correct?

Paul
