Hey Mat,

And what would be the difference between 'ALL' and 'ALL-NTFS'?

Hey Tim,

One thing you could do is change the save set definition to ALL-NTFS - assuming 
that all your file systems are NTFS .... pretty sure it works for most file 
system types, I've used ALL-NTFS, ALL-UFS,ALL-ZFS,ALL-LOFS, pretty sure it 
works for FAT and EXT3 also  - would remove the risk of a file system being 
missed (although that sounds quite low in your environment)

In regard to: [Networker] strange Windows volume name when using All...:

Oh, OK.  So it's actually not just another name for C:\, but an actual separate 
volume?

As always, you're exactly correct Carsten.  Missing something new when not 
using the "All" saveset is a very real possibility.  Luckily, our Windows 
admins have a long history with NetWorker clients and they're also very 
diligent about things like these, so I'm pretty comfortable that they will 
remember to update the client attributes (or remember to tell me to update 
them) if they ever add volumes or directories that need to be backed up.

Thanks,

Tim
