ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES directive
Use the ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES directive to back up all local drives except for those drives that use removable media. If this directive is used, this directive must be the only entry in the backup selections list for the policy. No other files or directives can be listed. The directive applies only to the following policy types:
Standard
MS-Windows
ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES gives different results depending on whether Allow multiple data streams is enabled for the policy:
| enabled | Applies only to Standard and MS-Windows policy types. NetBackup backs up the entire client, then splits the data from each drive (Windows) or file system (UNIX) into its own backup stream. NetBackup periodically preprocesses the client to make necessary changes to the streams. |
disabled | NetBackup backs up the entire client and includes all drives and file systems in the same stream. |
See Allow multiple data streams (policy attribute).
Caution:
Do not select for policies where you use the ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES directive.
See ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES example: Auto-discovery mode.
See ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES example: Without multiple data streams.
