No problem mixing the W2k and W2K3 operating systems in the same policy No problem using ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES for the Backup selections Yes, I do that too :-) simply a note to be aware of having at minimum 5.1 MP5 WHY MP5? The %windir%\registration folder on Windows 2003 clients is being omitted from backups performed by the Veritas NetBackup (tm) Server / Enterprise Server 5.1 and 6.0 releases, and therefore, will not be available for restore. http://support.veritas.com/docs/280511

What have just had one of our Clients do a DR exercise and they reported having problems restoring the system state on a Windows 2003 box. It has been proposed by some that the problem rest with the fact that the backup policy has both Windows 2k and Windows 2k3 systems (and backup selection set to "All_Local_Drives", which should get system files, shadow copies, and system states). I personally haven't ever encountered this, and have actually checked my records and found that on my last DR at another site, I was able to successfully restore 4 systems (two 2k's and two 2k3 servers) which were in the same policy.
