you could have created an exclude list to avoid backing up this drive

I don't need to backup that drive, however I wouldn't
remove the drive completely, because there are several
machines in the policy that do have a G drive.  I've
worked around it by asking the admin to format the
drive, which would have eventually happened anyway,
but we were holding off on putting production data on
the system because backups weren't succeeding so no
files had been placed on that other drive.  The point
is it's inconsisdent, since on a unix system the
non-existant path would have simply been skipped and
the backup would have completed.
