My opinion is that it is better to use exclude lists. That way you have to be explicitly told NOT to back something up rather than be told you SHOULD back it up. When the day comes to do a restore it won't matter that you had a policy that they needed to tell us about new filesystems - you'll

You're right - user-defined backups won't break into multiple streams. You can do multiple bpbackup commands. If you do them in rapid succession, NetBackup will usually multiplex them correctly onto a tape. Something like: for dir in Microsoft Information Store:\*SG* do bpbackup -p policy_name
