Errors when creating flashbackups

[j083418]

Keep getting the following pop warning when creating new flashbackup policies:

 "Policy validation checks for the advanced client configuration failed.

Advanced client backups cannot be performed until configured correctly.

Details:

Policy: <POLICY_NAME> - - filelist not configured"

Any help would be great.

What entries do you have in 'Backup Selection' tab?

Please post your policy config:

bppllist <policy_name> -L         (big el)

Are these folders actual Windows mount points?

Include:           \\.\r:\ABN_LUNA
Include:           \\.\r:\ABN-LUNB

If so, you need to add another "\" at the end.

Extract from Snapshot Client Admin Guide:

On the Backup Selections tab, specify the drive letter or mounted volume (Windows) or the raw disk partition (UNIX) containing the files to back up.

Windows examples:
\\.\E:
\\.\E:\mounted_volume\

\\.\E:\mounted_volume\  (note the trailing backslash) is a Windows disk volume without a drive letter mounted on a directory (Windows reparse point).

Yes they are mount points so I will add the extra \ and re-run the job
