By default, Tivoli Storage Manager AFS file backup clients do not cross AFS mount points. AFS mount points and symbolic links require similar backups. For example, if you define /afs/xyz-cell/u/foo as a Tivoli Storage Manager virtual mount point and enter this command:
incremental /afs/xyz-cell/u/foo
Tivoli Storage Manager performs the following incremental backup for /foo:
If you want the file backup clients to cross AFS mount points, set the afsbackupmntpnt option to no. Tivoli Storage Manager backs up the mount point as a directory rather than as a symbolic link to the target volume. For more information about the afsbackupmntpnt option, see Afsbackupmntpnt.
When you use the archive client, the directory that is pointed to by the mount point is archived.
