The policy will backup E:\ as a full backup but it will only do
incremental for previous selections.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] changing backup selection in a policy

I don't have a windows client in the lab at the moment, otherwise I
would test this myself and not bother you fine folks.
I feel like I should know this, but I've been burned by
assumptions/beliefs before.

I currently have a windows policy with several clients and a "backup
selections" list of C:\, D:\ and System_State:\
One of the machines has a new volume added mounted as E:\, so I want to
add E:\ to the list......will adding an entry for E:\ in the list trip
the policy up so as to run all incremental backups as "FULL"?
I don't mind that this one client will pick up the E:\ drive as "changed
since full" untill the next full, as it isn't too big.

I think not, as the policy name has not changed....each client should go
on as usual, knowing it previously had a good FULL with the same policy
name, search the system for the new drive letter, then move on, if it
doesn't exist....correct?
