        Anyone else seen this?  ... Backing up a Solaris 8 client (
where /etc/mnttab is no longer a "real" file but a "magic" link to
a table in the OS kernel) using ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES as the file list
spawns a job just to back up "/etc/mnttab" (Which is the only
file in the "filesystem").
        ... not erroneous, I guess, just a small (32 Kbyte) waste
of tape.

        Spotted it 'cos a machine with two disks spawned three 
backup jobs!

        

Cheers,

Richard.
