Hi we use ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES on our UNIX boxes with an exclude list.  I gets all the files we need without having to
specify different folders for each UNIX system.  We have 325 UNIX servers, it really saves time

The ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES directive keeps you from having to know all the drives local to a client. In windoze, it will also grab the system state/shadow copy components. You use it to simply catch everything that is local to the client instead of having to know ALL of the details of the client.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES question

Our environment, HP-UX 11-31 currently running one master and media server running NetBackup 6.5.2.  Running mostly unix / Linus backups and a couple windows b/u’s thrown in for good measure.  Let me start this out by stating that I just know enough Windows to scrape by and get me into trouble.  That said, I’m setting up a backup for a Windows box and have been reading and trying to figure out exactly what the ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES directive is used for.  Why not just create a policy and point to C:\ for example?  Can someone give me a simple explanation for ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES and when it should be used?

Thanks in advance…
