Dataless and even diskless clients should have a file tree of their own
(NFS-mounted from the server in case of diskless clients), probably the
/var tree, almost certainly the /etc directory. Simply make
/usr/afs/backup a symbolic link to /var/afs/backup and each client will
use its own instance of the directory. We were successful in running
complete AFS servers on /usr clients that way (though I wouldn't
recommend this for production servers). For advanced confusion you can
even have /usr/afs/bin point to /var/afs/bin point to /usr/afs/bin.xxx
to allow different /usr clients run different versions of the binaries.
