ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES example: Auto-discovery mode

Assume that Allow multiple data streams is enabled in the auto-discovery mode. 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 generates the following:

  • One stream for C:\

  • One stream for D:\

For a UNIX client, NetBackup generates a stream for each file system.

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

See ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES example: Without multiple data streams.
