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