Excluding a drive in policy with "ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES"
Hi all,
We are running Windows NetBackup 6.5.5
We have a policy for a 2008 64 bit domain controller that has ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES set so we get a system state of the server. The domain controller also has a Seagate USB drive attached as E: because I am super paranoid and am using Windows Backup to schedule system state backups to this E: drive. Is it okay for me to add E:\ to the "Windows Client" -> "Exclude Lists" on that policy with the ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES parameter set?
There is no use in us backup up the system state on the E: drive if we are already getting a System State through the NetBackup policy.
You don't exclude via a policy but by client.
So you can open the client properties of that server and exclude it there.
They policy will then do all local drives for all clients in the policy, but will exclude the E drive for that one client.
