That is correct, ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES can do the same as / and Cross Mount
Points, so long as allow multiple data streams is not turned on, it is all a
single data stream.

so let me try and put this in a matrix

Single Stream

ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES                no Allow Multiple Data Streams
/ + Cross Mount Points  Allow Multiple Data Streams doesn't matter

Multiple Streams
ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES                With Allow Multiple Data Streams.

        I see the same behaviour as Michael  BUT I've seen that there
is an important difference between:

        ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES

and

        / + "Cross Mount Points"

namely that the first makes individual backup jobs for each filesystem
whereas the second just makes a single one (so making MPX'ing not work).

        
Is this what others see, too ???


Cheers,

Richard.
