NFS mounts backed up

Hi guys! We have a host with a TSM client 7.1.6 with several NFS mounts. As far as I know TSM should not backup NFS mounts, unless explicitly specified or when set through the DOMAIN or INCLUDE statement. On this node neither one is used but as soon as we issue a dsmc i without any additional

Zoltan: Okay, I’m getting mixed messages from your post. So my answer may be of limited value. “Signing in via browser” implies to me you are using the Web client - am I correct? Assuming so, - BACKUP is looking at the local filesystems - not the information from the TSM Server -

Re: NFS mounts backed up

Are you using an automounter that provides directory entries for the mount points before they're mounted (aka "ghost" mounts)? If so, TSM will detect the directory entries and the automounter can mount the filesystems before TSM can detect them as NFS. On Thu, Nov 17, 2016 at 02:54:17PM +,

Re: NFS mounts backed up

All of our autofs-managed mounts are in a common /net path, so we just have an "exclude.dir /net" rule on the hosts that shouldn't be backing up NFS. On Thu, Nov 17, 2016 at 04:28:47PM +, Loon, Eric van (ITOPT3) - KLM wrote: > Hi Skylar! > This could be the case, but how does one prevent this

Re: NFS mounts backed up

Hi Skylar! This could be the case, but how does one prevent this than? The customer stated that the NFS filesystems weren't backed up before and the issue started a few weeks ago. They first suspected the upgrade to 7.1.6, but we just installed the previous version (7.1.4.4) and this versions

Re: Can't Restore on CIFS/DFS backup server yet can backup

Andy, The APAR description says "IBM Tivoli Storage Manager *client GUI* cannot display files which were backed up in a directory tree, when a mount point was created as an underlying directory name." Can we assume it applies to the Web interface as well, since that is what is being used - not

Re: Can't Restore on CIFS/DFS backup server yet can backup

You are mostly correct in your understanding of our configuration. Let see if this helps. We have a server called TSMCIFS3. It has access/mount points to numerous CIFS and now DFS storage/directories/mount points/shares, whatever you want to call them. The TSM software on this server is used to
