Wrapper script for huge mount point to multiple save sessions

I have one client with one huge file system that I need to back up. I would like to create multiple save sessions so it will use multiple tape drives when doing a full backup. I am not sure how to set this up, or if it can be done. Has anybody done this before? I am using NetWorker v 7.2.1 running on a Sun/Solaris 9.

Inside that mnt point you probably have some directory structure so define that as savesets.

The problem with splitting it up is there are over 400 directories under it and it changes weekly. I was hoping to complete this task without having to go in and update the client save sessions weekly. Is there any way to setup save sessions with wild cards? I tried setting up the client with a save session with the following syntax and was unsuccessful:

/usr2/[a-e]*

If it is huge, why simply not using BCV of it? (eg. via PowerSnap or script). What I would do if I would look for solution in traditional world is a script which runs on client, checks for file structure, balances which directories will be saveset and calls save. Balancing part is trickiest part, but can be done.

Do you have a script that does this? Or does anyone have a script that does something similar to this?

No, but it should fairly easy to write a first attempt... you could use du to determine usage per directory and call those based on size returned.. there are actually few ways how you could approach this. You may wish to check with your UNIX admin - they could come up with such script pretty quickly.
