Check to see if it's on the same file system or not. On Unix systems, you want to be really careful if you enable "Cross mount points" since links across file systems are very common.
On one of the windows server I found
( but not fully researched) it skips everything under the root folders
of local E:\ drive. It creates
the folders but skips every thing under.....
this could be something else.. The Solaris server makes no sense as I can
do a
selective backup of just that directory
and it backs everything up. When I do ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES it has the problem.
This may be a "cross mount points" problem. We have a standard practice of mounting up a "sliver" and then mounting file systems under it. A backup of the "sliver" gets just the empty directory unless we enable "Cross mount points".
Whenever I've seen NetBackup skip a file system, it's invariably my fault, not NetBackup's.
