In regard to: Re: [Networker] "ALL" save set with predefined save sets...:

Is there any way to use the "ALL" save set in Networker, but have the

Nope.  You can exclude the data in them, but the saveset itself will be
run as a backup.

Since Brian mentions the VSS savesets, I wonder if the VSS:*=off trick will
do what he wants?

When the "ALL" save set is specified for a Windows client Networker will
attempt to backup predefined savesets: VSS ASR Disk, VSS System Fileset,
etc...

We want to set the save set to "ALL", but then have Networker skip these
predefined save sets via directive or any other means.  I wrote the
directives below.  Running a savegrp -n seems to indicate that it is
valid.  But running a full save shows that the savesets do in fact get
backed up.

Hmm.  I wonder if directives are valid on these special "non disk"
savesets.

That's a good question.  Anyone know?
