Example 2: Symbolic Links
As in standard NetBackup, if an entry in the file list is a symbolic (soft) link to another file,
ServerFree Agent backs up the link, not the file to which the link points. To back up the
file’s data, the file list must also include the file path to the actual data.
Likewise, to make a frozen image of the data, the frozen image source should be the
mounted file system that contains the actual data. Refer to the following diagram.
File list:
/fs1/file1 (the link)
/fs2/file1 (the data)
/fs1/dir1 (the link)
/fs2/dir2 (the data)
Specify this frozen image
source:
/fs2
Example Symbolic Links and their Objects:
Link Points to actual data on:
/fs1/file1 /fs2/file1
/fs1/dir1 /fs2/dir2
