Dean and Justin, Thank you very much for your replies.
I need to use ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES (I think) because there are two clients in my policy. Basically the backup runs like this: 1. - client1: make clones of production file systems 2. - client2: mount clones of client1's production file systems 3. - client2: back up client1's production file systems to local tape drive 4. - client2: back up client1's root volume group over the network. client1 is only a client, client2 is a client and a media server. Am I able to specify the pathnames in this configuration, or am I stuck with ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES?
