I selected my whole drive for backup ('/'), and my mounted FireWire and Network-based drives weren't included. How do I back up my externally-mounted drives with Impression?
Impression excludes the base directories '/Network' and '/Volumes' from a backup session if the whole computer ('/') is selected as a backup target. Though if desired local/network volumes are instead added directly to Impression's backup list, they will be included in the session and backed up in full. This keeps Impression from inadvertently backing up mounted network shares, CDs still in local drives, etc. The reasoning for this is that many folks who select their entire drive to be backed up don't want their external FireWire and Network-mounted servers to be included in the backup unless specifically desired.
