ComponentsfromALL_LOCAL_DRIVES?
That hasn't been my experience. If you configure a drive F: and there
isn't an F:, you get a job that fails with "no such drive." I don't
like failures.
Incorrect.
If you specify F:\ a the only entry in the backup selection list and it
does not exist, you will get a status 71.
If you specify C:\, D:\ and F:\, and the system has a C and D drive, but
no F drive, you will not get a failure.
You will if you use multi-streaming because each drive is its own
stream/job and that is what most people do for speed purposes :)
My opinion is that ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES is a good thing, and backing up an
extra GB or too is a small price to pay. The risk of what
happens when
you DON'T use it outweighs the value you're gaining by skipping those
few GB. 200 clients backing up 2 extra GB = one tape ($75).
Big deal.
Not having a backup for a drive you need because you forgot to include
it? That's a whole lot more than $75. That could be an RPE (resume
producing event).
If anyone is still running one of the affected MP levels, there was an
issue where netbackup would backup directory structure but no data, and
explicitly specifying the drive letters was a documented work around for
that issue.
