My question is about whether a DFS/SMB ZFS should be backed up at all
given its size and the existence of a daily TSM backup of its contents.
In theory, a TSM backup of the contents should be adequate. In practice,
there are a few things that I would want to be sure TSM would actually
backup and restore before I considered it a full filesystem backup. I
would want to be sure TSM handled correctly:
- symbolic and hard links (i.e. hard links restored as entries for the
same file)
- special files
- ACLs, file tags, audit bits, etc.
In other words, does TSM back up the data, or the filesystem (data +
metadata).
