Well, I'm not categorically stating that you have to. That was just my
surmise as to how it's little brain works. I mean, for example, if I
list say / under the savesets for a given client then is NetWorker gonna
back up just / or is it gonna back up all the file systems? Of course,
we all know it will descend no further than /; so, with the exception of
the mount point path names, any other file systems would not be captured
even though their mount points are under the root FS. I guess I was
thinking that directives would follow along the same logic?

But I would try it, and if doing it that way works ... natch. Should be
easy enough to test. As far as it being a bummer ... yes, it is. Might
be something in the man page, though, for uasm that might tell you how
to work around it?

Might be a nice enhancement for future releases. Say, how about if you
use << All >>. Does NetWorker recognize that? Seems a shame that they
allow 'All' for savesets but maybe not for directives?

Please post back if hard coding each file system does work.

Thanks

George
