Raw partition backups

For the NetBackup Media Server or Third-Party Copy method, do not specify a block device as the raw partition to back up. For these two backup methods, NetBackup does not support block devices. Instead, specify the raw partition as a character device.

Examples:

Solaris: /dev/rdsk/c1t3d0s3
HP: /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0
