Please show us your Policy config.

On master:

/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bppllist <policy-name> -L

If you are trying to backup physical client with FlashBackup policy type, you cannot include system drives in the policy.

Hi!!!

 If i roll back the client NB 7.5.0.6 to NB 7.5.0.1 this policy configuration  works fine..

Regards

Manu

I am with Marrianne on this one - the policy type should be MS-Windows and the selection list should be either ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES or each drive letter (C:\ , D:\ etc) plus Shadow Copy Components

your policy listing is just for the schedule

please show bppllist policyname -U
