Apparently not. Here is a DISASTER_RECOVERY: only job I happened to run on
that server a few weeks ago:
* SERVER01:DISASTER_RECOVERY:\ 77775:savepnpc: Processing completed for
disaster recover backup.
SERVER01: OSSR_C level=full, 47 GB 02:51:25 199622
files
* SERVER01:DISASTER_RECOVERY:\ completed savetime=1372468439
* SERVER01:DISASTER_RECOVERY:\ 80889:savepnpc: Created disaster recover
logical object.
SERVER01: DISASTER_RECOVERY:\ level=full, 24 KB 02:51:28 4

* SERVER01:DISASTER_RECOVERY:\ completed savetime=1372468456

So, just like my Lotus server, I can't do an ALL backup without
duplicating drives. And (in this case) doing just DISASTER_RECOVERY: in
one client definition, with the fix for missing system files, would
attempt to back up the all the drives without shutting down the SourceOne
services first, which is "bad".
Looks like I'm being backed into a corner, and have to not use "savepnpc"
but my own customized "save" script - which will have to call the same
pre- and post- commands that the savepnpc does.
And I can only even try this at night, which means I have to monitor it
from home. Because if it doesn't work, I will have to fall back on the
current method, which will at least backup the data files.
