With the subdir option specified an incremental backup should backup the symbolic links, directories and files they point to . Recreate this issue: dsmc i -su=yes */lien_adsm/** ..In this case nothing is being backed up including the link. LOCAL FIX: PROBLEM SUMMARY: **************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: UNIX client * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Command "dsmc inc" does not backup * * anything, if the last directory in the * * specified path is symbolic link, which * * points to mount point. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the fix when available * **************************************************************** PROBLEM CONCLUSION: One routine returned incorrect value in case of symbolic pointing to mount point. Source code was modified to return correct value. Now command like "dsmc inc /some_path/sym_link/*" works fine even if directory, that symbolic link points to, is a mount point of a filesystem. TEMPORARY FIX: COMMENTS: MODULES/MACROS: EXE DSMC SRLS: NONE
