This is what we do for our UNIX systems. We actually define each file system as it's own job and have things set up so if a mismatch between what is found on a client and what is being backed up occurs, it is reported and can be fixed. You're right in that a problem with this approach is if your clients may be attaching storage that uses unexpected file system types. For us, that isn't really a problem since the policy is that we back up what is "fixed" on the computer and each computer is set up by us as well. hope this helps, --tom ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Master Java SE, Java EE, Eclipse, Spring, Hibernate, JavaScript, jQuery and much more.
