If you have any background in NetBackup (that's not clear from your note), it's no different than backing up any other system, like Unix boxes with a Standard class. A selection list entry, such as c:\ /c/program files/a* c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc /usr/openwin/bin/xclock tells NetBackup to back up that selection (and its expansions if wildcards are used, and everthing under it if it's a directory). If the schedule is a full, it's all backed up. If an incremental (differential or cumulative), only the changed files per the rules for diffs and cincs are backed up. If the schedule has a window and a frequency (or equivalent calendar-based automatic scheuling), invoke it automatically accoring to those rules. You tell NetBackup what to back up (Selection List), on what clients (Clients), when and how (Scheules) by the class (policy) settings. NetBackup will follow the rules you have written in the class definition. If any of this is new to you, you must read at _least_ the Veritas NetBackup Administrator's Guide, Volume 1. For now, create one Win-FS policy, put ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES in the selection list, put all the windows clients in the client list, put in a full and a differential scheule and run them manually Add automatic scheuling and other attributes as your knowledge grows. _______________________________________________ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
