If you use / then one stream is used to backup the entire system.

If you select ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES, but not check the box in the attributes tab
that says allow multiple streams, it works the same as / and cross mount
points.

If you select ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES and check the box in the attributes tab that
says allow multiple streams then it executes a stream per mount point.

                I'm not sure what is meant by "a lot harder to find the
right stream"? When doing a restore, you choose the file(s) or directory you
want and tell NBU to restore it. If you want the latest version NBU will
find the applicable tape, mount it, and restore the files. If you want to
restore an earlier version, specify the date range, find the
files/directories you want to restore (it's easier if you use verbose mode,
so that you can see the date of the file to restore) then tell NBU to
restore them. Which tape(s) the files are on is irrelevant to the restore
process.

                The one problem with ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES, is if your system has
50 filesystems,
                then you will get 50 streams, not to bad, but when you go to
restore, its a
                lot harder to find the right stream to do the restore from,
unless I am
                missing something.

                What's the difference in functionality between the following

                (assuming it's a UNIX client, for the sake of discussion) :

                (option 1) specifying "ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES" in a class filelist

                (option 2) turning on "Cross mount points" and specifying
"/" in a 
                class filelist


                the fact that Option 1 is a new feature of NBU 3.2 makes me
wonder 
                what is wrong with Option 2.

                anyone?
