Is the key word 'Volume Mounted Points" (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTFS_volume_mount_point)?
If so, do you want to use VSS with VMP?
If so, you have to assign a drive letter to the VMP to successfully backup
files with Bacula. FileSet->Include->File should point to the drive letter
assigned not to the VMP itself.

If this is not the case (no VSS nor VMP) then there is no need to do
anything special for Windows Vista/7/8. I managed some number of Windows
Vista/7 machines without a problem. I use a standard FileSet for this like
File = "C:/" or File = "C:/Users", etc. I use VSS.

best regards
