There is not a way to create a mountpoint that will 'automatically' traverse backup volumes without specifying the backup volume itself, for example, you'll need to do something like fs mkmount -dir /afs/mycell/backups/somepath -vol myvol.backup Changing traversal semantics while in .backup volumes (e.g., to be 'once in a .backup volume, prefer to traverse to backup volumes) could be done, but, to my knowledge, that's not on anyone's Road Map. How helpful would that change be?
