You'll need to manually break things up similar to what you initially
proposed. I'll assume you're NOT checking "cross mount points" so you
can include the rest of your box's trivial-sized file systems without
re-copying everything. Looks like you're on NT so this shouldn't be a
problem anyway, but just in case. My explanation also works for
similar situations in UNIX.
Say you have a file system that looks like this:
c:\a\b1 50GB
c:\a\b2 50GB
c:\a\b3 1GB
c:\a\b4 1GB
c:\x 20GB
c:\y 1GB
c:\z 1GB
There are no other files or directories in c:\a other than those
listed. There are no other files or directories in c:\ than those
listed.
There exist trivial-sized file systems on d: e: & f:.
Your file list could look like:
NEW_STREAM
c:\a\b1
NEW_STREAM
c:\a\b2
NEW_STREAM
c:\a\b3
c:\a\b4
c:\y
c:\z
d:\
e:\
f:\
NEW_STREAM
c:\x
You have to list all the "rest" of a directory that you've previously
split off into its own stream. Listing the parent will, as you've
already said, result in backing up the entire heirarchy again. Also
notice you need to take control of the stream-splitting.
ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES simply creates a stream for each file system; you
need to split within the file system.
Hope this helps, Jim
