I am working on revising/consolidating some of our NetBackup policies. I would like to have a handful of our high-priority Linux systems in one policy, however each server has a different selection list. For example, Server1 only needs /d01/app backed up, but Server2 needs /d02/app. As I browse the servers in the New >> Browse window, I can pick which directory I want backed up, and the server name is shown in the selection list as "Server1:/d01/app" and "Server2:/d02/app." When that policy runs, it generates failure messages stating that "Server1:/d02/app" was not found (because it doesn't exist). Backups complete of the selected directory.
Is there a way in the backup selections list to specify the intended directories per server? Once I choose the intended directory on the server, the selection list just shows the directory name ("/d01/app") and seems like it looses its relationship back to the specific server. I have tried the NEW_STREAM directive, hoping it would help, but alas, it has not.
Is there some special syntax I need to use to specify each server and its intended directory within the selection list, or do I need to stick with an individual policy per server?
