Re: [Networker] How does "All" get translated?

With networker 7 anyway, you can back up a UNC link - although you can't use
"all" for this.  I have one win2k machine set up in networker to be a kind
of backup host for various UNC's - so for save sets I define the list
myself.  With UNC's you don't have to map a drive or any of that.

To find out what exactly the save set names are on an existing windows
machine, just look at the index listing in the gui for the client.  It'll
have a list of all the save sets that it's backing up.  Dunno how it
generates the list but that's one sure way to see what it's really backing
up.

for my unix machines with NFS I also define the save sets myself because it
doesn't always seem to grab them from the vfstab...

I'm more UNIX familiar, so please bear with me...

In UNIX, I can do the following:
        - Create a directory, /dir1
        - Create several subdirectories, /dir1/sd1, /dir1/sd2, /dir1/sd3
        - Mount space at the subdirectory level so that each of these
subdirectories is actually a separate file system
        - Specify "All" in the client definition and have these
subdirectories back up in parallel


I've got a Windows server with SAN attached storage.  Is there a way to
do a similar thing?  What I want is something that is easy for users to
navigate (e.g. one drive letter), something that can be backed up as
more than just a single stream and doesn't require explicitly listing
the directories in the client definition.

Is this possible?

Thanks.
Teresa

Basically all fixed drives on windows + some extra savesets for registry
and
other internal windows stuff. Depending on the version of the client and
the
version of windows.
