Basically the same thing.  It allows you mount a physical drive volume as a
directory of another drive.

        I know what a 'mount point' is in unix but I don't  know what it is
in W2K/WNIN NT etc

        Could it be that the skipped directory is set up as a mount-point in
        your Windows client configuration?

        It would would be a nice feature for Networker to give some
        warning/error/explanation when it decides to ignore W2K directories
        containing billions of bytes of data . Yes thats whats happening here
.
        Its happened on 2 different W2K servers of dissimilar configurations.
        The setup is
        1) W2K server running Networker 6.1.2 client (or greater) 2)Solaris
2.6
        running Networker 6.1.2 or 6.1.3 server Heres the ugliness
        
        In one case the drive on the W2K box was 'E:\" in another case "F:\".
In
        the client setup I said 'ALL' for the savesets. After the backup runs
        you see that a particular directory(lets say XYZ) containing in one
case
        70 GB data does not get backed up. Review of both server and client
logs
        shows NO ERRORS/NO WARNINGS . This is not good.Further inspection of
the
        backup results shows that some of the data on "F:\" was dumped , only
        XYZ was ignored. I then go on to discover that by listing the
        directories explicitly (F:\A F:\XYZ F:\FUBAR) every thing gets dumped
.
        This is not a good solution for obvious reasons .
        
        I have been struggling with this issue since last October. Legato
        'technical' support must not think its much of an issue since I'm the
        only one reporting it.(We go through a 3rd party for support).
        
        Is it a Networker BUG? W2K BUG? Networker Config Issue? W2K Security
        Issue? W2K Config Issue ? I don't care . I have supplied every log
        available form both server and client,every configuration detail from
        both server and client. Silence . All manner of back up tests run .
        Silence
        
        If you have a configuration similar to ours you might want to double
        check your back up results.
        
        Heres some real data.
