Hi,

I'm running EV 8.0 SP3.  I just want to confirm my understanding of EV's processing of FSA volumes.  I have a file server (Win2K3 R2 SP2) that I'm archiving with FSA.  There is a top-level share, call it \\file_server\top_share.  From this top-level share, there are subfolders that are shared amongst department members, e.g., \\file_server\top_share\Finance, \\file_server\top_share\HR, etc.

From the Admin Console, I added the \\file_server\top_share as an FSA volume, then within the volume, I created archive points for some of the subfolders (\\file_server\top_share\subfolder1, subfolder2, etc).  I want to archive only those subfolders, not everything under \\file_server\top_share.  My understanding is that at this point, when I run the FSA task, it'll process and archive *only* those subfolders for which I've created archive points under the volume.  Is this correct? 

I'm asking because a Symantec tech support engineer told me to NOT check the 'archive this volume' box on the FSA volume property page; he said checking that box would cause FSA to archive the entire volume (all subfolders), which is not what I want.  But unchecking that box and running the FSA task causes none of the subfolders to be archived.  So I think the Symantec engineer was wrong about that setting.  I've just checked that box and am running the FSA task in report mode to see what it archives.  My prediction is that it'll archive only the subfolders that have archive points within the volume.  Can someone (hopefully from Symantec) confirm this please?  Thanks in advance for your help.
