Save set backups

You can use a block based backup to back up the following save sets:

• Windows:
  • ALL—This save set includes VSS volumes, critical volumes, and non-critical volumes.
  • DISASTER_RECOVERY:—This save set includes VSS volumes and critical volumes.
  • Volumes—Specify any type of volume drive letters as save sets. For example: D:\
  • Volume mount points—Specify volume mount points as save sets. For example:

    D:\mount_point_name (for a single mount point)

    D:\mount_point_name1\mount_point_name2\mount_point_name3 (for nested mount points)

• Linux:
  • ALL—All the mounted volumes that the /etc/fstab file lists.
    NOTE:If the ALL save set contains block based backup supported and unsupported volumes, and you specify parallel save streams for the save set, the following types of backups will be performed:

    • Block based backup of the supported volumes, each with random parallel save streams, but not with the parallel save streams that you specified
    • NetWorker traditional backup of the unsupported volumes
  • Volume mount points—Specify volume mount points as save sets. For example:

    /<mount_point_name> (for a single mount point)

    /<mount_point_name1/mount_point_name2/mount_point_name3> (for nested mount points)
