Hi,

Please disregard, the actual example is:

Exclude Lists:
C:\
D:\

Include Lists:\
D:\Mydata

Where mydata is the only path we want to backup and nothing else on D:\ (potentially TB of live DB, where, we only want the dumps, for example).

I would just use all local drives and exclude C:\...

Hi Patrick,

The ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES is specified on the server, and then the team who
handles windows can setup the includes and excludes locally on their
client, that allows the user to configure the backups as they please and
not require any intervention from the server-side of things other than
adding the client properly.

Example:

Exclude Lists:
<<All Policies>>
 << All schedules>>
C:\

Exceptions to the exclude list:
<<All schedules>>
D:\

Therefore, ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES backs up D:\ and System State and excludes
C:\, this is how it has always worked and no errors and the data has been
backed up successfully and tested via restore with no issues, the problem
is with 7.0.1 and (maybe 7.0?) that it gets an error 90 for C:\ instead of
just skipping it and exiting with a status 0, I think there was a tech
note on this somewhere.

Why would you do that?! Are you trying to see how many errors you can cause
by using non-sense combinations? Either
ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES and exclude C: \
or
specify D: only in the file section.
You are including the D:\ drive which should be included when you said
ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES.

Hello,

Has anyone seen this?

Windows 2008 clients:

CLIENT:
ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES

On the client,
EXCLUDE C:\
INCLUDE D:\

For the C:\ backup it will get the following error:

Apr 29, 2011 10:09:22 AM - mounting TAPE01 Apr 29, 2011 10:09:24 AM -
connecting Apr 29, 2011 10:09:24 AM - connected; connect time: 0:00:00 Apr
29, 2011 10:09:59 AM - mounted TAPE01; mount time: 0:00:37 Apr 29, 2011
10:09:59 AM - positioning TAPE01 to file 59 Apr 29, 2011 10:10:31 AM -
positioned TAPE01; position time: 0:00:32 Apr 29, 2011 10:10:31 AM - begin
writing Apr 29, 2011 10:11:31 AM - end writing; write time: 0:01:00 media
manager received no data for backup image  (90)

With < 7.0 this never happened, is this a bug?
The data in D:\ does get backed up however.

Justin.
