I already experienced mutliple times that the selection list is automatically updated when I attach a new USB-Drive or local hard disk. This is good and bad, sometimes it helps, sometimes not. For example when you add a new SQL-Database, it is also automatically selected in the backup selection list and thus it is backuped next time the backup runs. This is ok.
When you are doing backup to disk, the disk itself is recognized as a local disk, therefore it is automatically selected in the selection list of the media server. If I add the disk to my disk pool to which backups are made, Backup Exec tries to backup both the whole System to the newly added disk and a backup of the backup disk itself. This is being forced in terminating the backup with an error.
In earlier versions of BackupExec, the behaviour was different, nothing was changed in the selection list, I had to do everything manually.
Please add an option with which I can choose if the selection list is beeing updated automatically or manaully.
Thank you.
