Tivoli Storage Manager for UNIX Backup-Archive Clients Installation and User's Guide

Afsbackupmntpnt

Root User

The afsbackupmntpnt option specifies whether you want Tivoli Storage Manager to see an AFS mount point as a mount point or as a directory. If Tivoli Storage Manager sees it as a mount point, it backs up only the name of the mounted volume during a backup operation. It does not back up the subtree by starting from the mount point directory. For more information about this option, see The Afsbackupmntpnt Option in the Appendix.

Supported Clients

This option is valid for all UNIX clients. The Tivoli Storage Manager Client API does not support this option.

Options File

Place this option in the client system options file dsm.sys or the client user options file dsm.opt. Use this option with dsmafs and dsmcafs.
