Linux backup Selection

[Yuvi]

I have a linux client that is selected with ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES, and selected with "allow multiple streams"

If i trigger backup now all the directories backed up normally and again in that stream "/"  is there backing the all the data again in the backup 

Pls suggest me.

Have you 'cross mount points' selected in the policy also? Un-select it if so.

Seems you have also selected 'Cross Mount Points' in the policy attributes?

Please double-check. This option should not be selected with ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES.

Without  'Cross Mount Points', backup of / will skip contents of mount points and just backup the empty mount points.

*** EDIT ****

Andy is way too fast today!

No the / stream won't backup the other mount points, check the detaield status and it will look like this

from client apple.usa.xl: TRV - [/boot] is in a different file system from [/]. Skipping
11/28/2012 5:34:58 AM - Info bpbrm(pid=1104) from client apple.usa.xl: TRV - [/dev] is in a different file system from [/]. Skipping

No the / stream won't backup the other mount points

It will if 'cross mount points' is selected tho'.

ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES *with* cross mount points selected could double your backup (or worse).

Imagine a server with the following filesystems:

/
/a
/b
/b/c

You will get /, /a, /b and /b/c backed up in their own right. You will also get /a, /b & /b/c backed up as part of / and you will also get /b/c backed up as part of /b
