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

Dfsbackupmntpnt

Root User

The dfsbackupmntpnt option specifies whether you want Tivoli Storage Manager to see a DFS 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 fileset during a backup operation. It does not back up the subtree by starting from the mount point directory.

For more information on using the dfsbackupmntpnt option, see The Dfsbackupmntpnt Option in the Appendix.

Supported Clients

This option is valid for all UNIX cients.

Options File

Place this option in the client system options file (dsm.sys) within a server stanza, or in the client options file (dsm.opt). Use this option with the dsmdfs and dsmcdfs client programs.
