The first backup run used the wildcard and detected each subdirectory and ran a separate stream.

When new sub directories are added they are not detected by the wildcard discovery – the directories which existed at the time the first back ran are the only ones which jobs are created for.

 If I create a new policy and specify E:\Folder1\* - NetBackup will then detect all the subdirectories and kick off a job for each one.

Its almost as if the file list is being cached somewhere and not being rediscovered for each scheduled backup.


What I think you're running into is the frequency of the pre-discovery process.

man bpgetconfig and look at the -prep settings.

     -prep hours

               The preprocessing interval. This interval  is  the
               minimum  time  in  hours between client queries to
               discover  new  paths  when  NetBackup  uses  auto-
               discover-streaming  mode.  For additional informa-
               tion, see "Setting  the  Preprocess  Interval  for
               Auto  Discovery"  in  the File-List Directives for
               Multiple   Data   Streams   in    the    NetBackup
               Administrator's Guide.

               The default Preprocess Interval value is 4  hours.
               If  the  preprocessing interval changes, change it
               back to the default by specifying -prep -1.

               The preprocessing interval can be set  to  prepro-
               cess immediately by specifying 0 as the preprocess
               interval for auto discovery on the  bpconfig  com-
               mand line.

               The maximum Preprocessing Interval is 48 hours.

This has existed for many releases - I found a reference to it in the NBU 5 Windows guide.
