Cases That Can Require Separate Policies

In some cases, it is best to create separate policies according to whether you want to cross mount points. For example, to back up the root file system without also backing up file systems mounted on it, create a policy where Cross Mount Points is not selected and the backup selection list contains only root (/). Place other file systems in another policy or policies.

To back up all the data on a client, create a policy where Cross Mount Points is selected and the backup selection list includes root (/).
