DFS and BackupExec

When backing up files that are part of a DFS replication scheme, do not select the files directly. While the BEWS selection list shows the files, since DFS has control over the files they won't be backed up. Instead, at the bottom of the selection list choose the option called "Shadow Copy Components". Under this node a folder exists called "User Data" within this folder is where the files handled by DFS can be select. Backupexec will then snapshot data and backup the snapshot.
