Greetings!

Just want to share the bugs we identified with Flash Backups on NBU 6.5.2. 
Symantec is continuing their tradition of breaking flash backups with every 
major release. 

a) The old method of specifying the cache partitions in policy includes does 
not work. The Flash Backup Admin Guide specifically mentioned that it will work 
 - but it won't. 

b) For every raw partition that is mentioned in the policy includes list - snap 
is created during the parent job. Even the actual backup is not active snap is 
created upfront. 

c) There is a limit to the max. number of snaps - which is 64. That means you 
cannot have more than 64 raw file systems in the includes list. 

We have some work arounds to deal with these issues and symantec is working to 
fix these.
