Ouch! I'm sorry for not having read the fine manual far enough to have spotted that, but it never occurred to me that the "fstype=ntfs" option would only work with non-Microsoft clients! > Usually you don't have the related problems, though - typically, all > partitions on a windows machine do have their own drive letters, so > it's unlikely you will accidentally backup too much stuff. What I'm really after is some simple way to identify and back up all the local, disk-backed files on each machine. On Linux machines, I can do this by putting file = /, onefs = no, and fstype = ext2 in a fileset, and that will pick up all the local disk partitions while skipping NFS imports, CDs, /proc, /sysfs, and the like. I was hoping to be able to do something similar with Microsoft clients, using a single fileset for all these machines and using the fstype = ntfs option used to screen out CDs and SMB shares. That way I wouldn't have to modify the backup configuration when someone added a new disk to their PC. It looks like it may be best to just manually track the drive letters though. That won't be a great deal of effort, I was just looking for an easy way to automate it. Thanks again for the clarification and help. -- John Kodis. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
