Re: [Veritas-bu] ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES and Windows 2008?

Hi,

Looks like there is a technote on it:
http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/338003.htm

Introduction:
When multistreaming is enabled (Allow multiple data streams is selected) on 
policies using the ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES directive which contain Windows 2008 
clients, the Shadow Copy Components:\ directive will be skipped on those 
clients due to a defect in bpmount.  There is no indication in the Activity 
Monitor that this is taking place other than an absence of a stream for Shadow 
Copy Components:\ for Windows 2008 clients.

What is Affected:
All Windows 2008 clients are affected by this issue.  Client support for 
Windows 2008 began in the NetBackup 6.5.2 release update.  Other Windows 
clients are not affected by this issue.

This issue is only seen when the ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES is used as the Backup 
Selection.

NetBackup 7.0 is not affected by this issue.

Justin.
