I was asked this question today and I do not know the answer.
What does Netbackup use to determine what drives are local to the file system for Windows, Unix and linux clients when usinf the "All_Local_drives" directive?
Thanks

Non-network based filesystem is treated as local drive. In general, CIFS and NFS are not backed up by ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES. Detailed list of network based filesystem which NetBackup treat as so is not documented(as far as i know), I'm not sure what happens when any other network based filesystem is mounted.

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:

The way bpmount get file system information is not documented. It may depends on each platform. On Linux, bpmount read /etc/mtab.
