ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES example: Without multiple data streams

Assume that Allow multiple data streams is not enabled. Assume that the client is a Windows system with two drive volumes, C:\ and D:\. The backup selections list contains the following directive:

ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES

For this backup selections list, NetBackup backs up the entire client in one data stream that contains the data from both C:\ and D:\.

SYSTEM_STATE is also backed up because SYSTEM_STATE is included in the ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES directive.

More Information

Allow multiple data streams (policy attribute)
