Netbackup shadow copy components directive in 7.5 and 7.6

Hi All,

This is a followup for a previous post I read on here:

https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/forums/netbackup-shadow-copy-components-directive-75-and-76

It is still not clear to me what the 2 directives will backup from a Windows 2012 server.

Master and clients are running 7.6.0.3.

We have a policy that includes "ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES" and "Shadow Copy Components:\" but in the restore tab I see the local drives and "System State" just.


Thanks for any reply.

 "ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES" already includes "Shadow Copy Components:\" 
This is clearly documented in NBU Admin Guide I.

You should not have both in the same policy.

Select 'Allow multiple data streams' in policy before next Full backup and remove "Shadow Copy Components:\" .
Carefully check all the jobs getting generated and let us know.

better write back to system engineer you interact with or bring it to sales rep notice they might have product or documentation team check on this. Could it be just documentation issue...
