Regardless of client platform, NAS file system specifications use the forward slash (/) separator, as in this example: /vol/vol0.

Note:
When you initiate a NAS backup operation using the command line client, the server starts a process to initiate, control, and monitor the operation. It may take several moments before you notice progress at the command line client interface because the server must perform mount and other necessary tasks before data movement occurs.
