Thanks Jonathan. That is fantastic news…
Anyone know if that will change or has changed with version 7?

You’ll have to explicitly supply the paths. What we do is: 1) Have a policy where you’ve explicitly listed paths, ie: a. /vol/vol1/first b. /vol/vol1/second 2) Have a second policy checking to see if new paths have been added. For us, that means: a. we’ve mounted via NFS the root of the volume, (ie: vol1) on the backup master server, b. and it’s backed up using a “Standard” backup policy for that mountpoint (cross mount points required). c. You exclude each in individual paths you are backing up in #1, d. and if the #2 backup policy ever grows larger than a set amount (32kB for example), we get an email saying something along the lines “a new vol1 path has been added” so, e. We have new paths to add to policy #1 Elegant eh?

The policy is setup as follows: Backup Selections: NEW_STREAM /vol/vol2/data/[A-M]* NEW_STREAM /vol/vol2/data/[a-m]* If I setup the policy to just backup /vol/vol2/data it works. This is on Netbackup 6.5.3 and is connecting to a Netapp via IP (can’t connect it via fibre). And the OS of the master/media servers are SuSE linux.
