Hi Hanskniep,

Yasuhisa is correct. From NBU Admin Guide, All_Local_Drives directive to backup all local drives except for those that use removable media. The following drives are not backed up:

  • floppy disks
  • CD-ROMS
  • and any drives that are located on remote systems but mounted on a system through the network.

 

 

Regards,

Adonis
