Backing Up UNIX Systems

Figure 5-7 Selecting an Entire Client to Be Backed Up

NOTE	Selecting all of the client’s drives is not the same as selecting the check
	box next to the client name, which is the procedure for a Disk Discovery
	backup.
	When you perform a client backup, all the files and directories that
	belong to the root (/) mountpoint are automatically backed up. Therefore,
	you cannot exclude the root in the backup specification. If you want to
	exclude the root, perform a filesystem backup.
	To check the configured backup type, see the Backup Object Summary
	property page. Under the Type label, you will see Client System if you
	have configured a Disk Discovery backup and Filesystem if only the
	drives have been selected.
	Also see “Using Backup Options” on page 225 for information on
	structuring your backup specifications.
	Backing Up Disks Using NFS
What Is NFS?	NFS (Network Filesystem) is a communication protocol that allows a
	computer to access files over a network as though they were on its local
	disks.
	Figure 5-8 shows a typical configuration. You want to back up the
	filesystem /home/special from system wiz, which is not part of the
	Data Protector cell and has no Data Protector software installed. But the
	filesystem is mounted as /nfs/wiz/home/special on a Data Protector
	client bserv.
