Ed,

 

I've actually had a guy at Symantec contact me through the mailing list
and say that there are binaries available which should resolve this
issue.  I'm beginning to think that the support rep didn't know what the
deal was with ZFS support because he actually sent me the document you
referenced  as a way to demonstrate that ZFS is NOT supported.  When I
looked at the document, it seemed to fly in the face of what he was
telling me.

        Thanks for that info.  I wonder why the Symantec support rep I
talked with yesterday made it sound like there were no plans to support
ZFS filesystem backups in future releases unless a lot more people
pushed for it ? Could he be referring to officially supporting ZFS
rather than fixing the ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES issue ?


I would challenge that claim - I suspect the support rep you talked to
didn't know what he/she was talking about.  After all, ZFS ACLs are
officially supported as documented in the client compatibility technote
at
ftp://exftpp.symantec.com/pub/support/products/NetBackup_Enterprise_Serv
er/278064.pdf.  There's nothing in the technote that says that
ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES will fail to discover ZFS volumes.

That said, since Symantec acknowledged the bug with an ETRACK, and fixed
it, it is obvious that they're is committed to supporting ZFS.
