At the policy use the directive "all local drives".
Go to "host properties"->clients, select a client right click it and select
properties.(you can do it form the policy also - select the client and right
click it)
Go to exclude list and add the policy name. Add the \*.

Now go to include list and under the same policy add the paths you want to
backup.
Click ok and go to the next client.
Finish.

Always check what you have done. Use the restore GUI to check what you had
backed up.

Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] Backup Policy Selection for Windows

Dear Mr. Bob,

Sorry I confused...

The question is I have about 10 windows clients and each client has
different mount points to be back-up.

<<
C:\cygwin
C:\Inetpub
C:\net-snmp
C:\Inetpub
C:\net-snmp
C:\PHP
D:\Program Files
D:\user_files
D:\Program Files
D:\Webroot
N:\Documents and Settings
N:\notesdata
N:\oracle
N:\Program Files
E:\Backup
E:\Inetpub\visa
E:\Inetpub\wwwroot
G:\CheetahMailCLA
G:\CheetahMailExtraction
G:\CheetahMailUnsubUpdate V2
>>
I have  got a new request to backup new clients with whole C:\ and D:\
drive.

If I use C:\ or D:\ then rest of the clients will also be backed up, which
I don't want. Is it I have to create a new policy for specific
requirements.

With Warm Regards

If you have any background in NetBackup (that's not clear from your
note), it's no different than backing up any other system, like Unix
boxes with a Standard class.  A selection list entry, such as

c:\
/c/program files/a*
c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc
/usr/openwin/bin/xclock

tells NetBackup to back up that selection (and its expansions if
wildcards are used, and everthing under it if it's a directory).  If
the schedule is a full, it's all backed up.  If an incremental
(differential or cumulative), only the changed files per the rules
for diffs and cincs are backed up.  If the schedule has a window and
a frequency (or equivalent calendar-based automatic scheuling),
invoke it automatically accoring to those rules.

You tell NetBackup what to back up (Selection List), on what clients
(Clients), when and how (Scheules) by the class (policy) settings.
NetBackup will follow the rules you have written in the class
definition.

If any of this is new to you, you must read at _least_ the Veritas
NetBackup Administrator's Guide, Volume 1.

For now, create one Win-FS policy, put ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES in the
selection list, put all the windows clients in the client list, put
in a full and a differential scheule and run them manually   Add
automatic scheuling and other attributes as your knowledge grows.
