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

Dfsbackupmntpnt

The dfsbackupmntpnt option specifies whether Tivoli Storage Manager views a Microsoft DFS junction residing on an NTFS or FAT drive as a junction or a directory. If Tivoli Storage Manager views Microsoft DFS junction as a junction, only the name of the mounted junction is backed up or archived. The subtree under the junction point is not backed up or archived.

This option is effective only when you back up or archive a Microsoft DFS root and is ignored when you back up or archive a Microsoft DFS junction. To restore a DFS tree, the root of the tree must already exist.

For more information on backing up a DFS root, see Backing Up Microsoft Dfs Files.

Supported Clients

This option is valid for Windows 2000, XP, and Windows.Net only.

Options File
