Share protection or Volume protection?

Does anyone have a handle on the difference between volume and share 
protection?  I know that with volume protection, you can't split a volume 
between multiple protection groups.  I thought that with share protection you 
could.  I just got DPM 2007 up and running over the weekend and I'm finding 
out that you cannot split either volumes or shares between two (or more) 
protection groups--at least not that I can make happen.  This is a bummer--I 
wanted to assign different protection schedules for data on the same drive.  
If this is the case, why would I even want to consider share protection over 

Hi Rick,

You cannot split protection of a volume across PGs regardless of whether you 
protect volumes/ folders/ shares.
Protecting a folder/share allows you to selectively protect data. You may 
however achieve the same by protecting the whole volume and excluding 
specific folders that you don't want to backup.
