You could generate your list and either using bp.... commands or update
/usr/openv/netbackup/db/class/<policy>/include, but either way the
policy must be updated BEFORE it is started as it will not look at the
list of files again. Also you need to nbpemreq(?) -updatepolicies before
you start it.
I'm sure the first method, bp.... commands would be supported, I'm not
sure about the second method as VERTIAS/Symantec sort of frown on these
things. :)

Would it be possible to make the policy read the Backup Selections
from a file? We could easily automate the creation of this file into
chunks of streams for the existing folders. My concern with a manual
list is that new folders will be created and missed.

So, NDMP doesn't support wildcards, right? As stated in "NetBackup
AdminGuide NDMP":
The following backup selections capabilities are NOT supported for an NDMP
policy:
? Wildcards in pathnames. For example, /home/* is an invalid entry.
? Individual file names. Only directory or volume names are allowed.
? Exclude list (because client software is not installed on the NDMP
host). You
can, however, exclude files by using the SET keyword.
I have a large folder full of sub folders that need to be backed up.
Ideally, I'd love to have multiple streams running in the job. I was
hoping to split them out by the alphabet, as in A*, B*, C*, etc. NDMP
won't let you do this. Anyone have any suggestions on how else to
achieve this?
We're trying to backup an Isilon via NDMP to a Data Domain via OST
from the media server.
