All local drives –
On a window server
C:
E:
F:
N:
H:
I might have up to 8 drives
configured on a server and I want all the drives backed up not just the C
drive.
For windows servers this also
means the Shadow Copy Components get backed up as well.
On a Unix server it means
/root
/usr
/tmp (which you usually exclude)
/proc ( which you usually exclude)
/opt
/whatever
Again I might have up to 10 file
systems defined on a unix server and I want all of them backed up.
So once you do that you just
create exclude list for the few little things that you can never get, or your
databases, as you will get those with an engine.
By doing all local drives I can
put a bunch of servers in the same policy
Where server1 has c: e: f:
Server 2 has c: f: h: n:
I don’t have to specify all the
unique drives for each server, it just gets all the drives.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES question
Our
environment, HP-UX 11-31 currently running one master and media server running
NetBackup 6.5.2. Running
mostly unix / Linus backups and a couple windows b/u’s thrown in for good
measure. Let me start this out by stating that I just know enough Windows
to scrape by and get me into trouble. That said, I’m setting up a backup for a
Windows box and have been reading and trying to figure out exactly what the
ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES directive is used for. Why not just create a policy and
point to C:\ for example? Can someone give me a simple explanation for
ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES and when it should be used?
Thanks in
advance…
