Yes, NBU will override the selection. We discovered that recently when we realized we had a bunch of Win2k servers mistakenly configured as Win2k3; System_State was still being backed up as opposed to Shadow Copy Components.

I think you may have that backwards but that's besides the point.

I actually have a formal change request into Symantec on this one - the backup admin should not be telling NetBackup what the OS type is when there's a NetBackup client sitting out there that knows exactly what it is.

This gets even uglier when you have the client in multiple policies (common for clusters) and you have to keep them all updated on a regular basis. And I'm just willing to bet at least a cup of coffee that the vast majority of backup admins aren't told when an OS is upgraded.
