    Hi SilvioReis1 

    Netbackup does not know if a disk is internal or external (SAN based).  

    You can however use a exclude_list to limit a backup selection.

    See more about exclude_lists in  : https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/article.100016246

    It does mean you will likely need two policies to backup internal disk and external disk. 

    Best Regards
