Backup

Backing Up UNIX Systems

 

To back up this filesystem using NFS, follow the same procedure as if

 

you were backing up any other filesystem on bserv, except that you have

 

to manually type /nfs/wiz/home/special as a mountpoint. Only local

 

filesystems can be browsed.

NFS Environment

Limitations

• You can use NFS only if backing up files on HP-UX clients. You can

 

not back up soft links, or character and device files.

 

• ACL attributes are not preserved. NFS does not support ACLs on

 

remote files. Individual manual entries specify the behavior of

 

various system calls, library calls, and commands. When transferring

 

a file with optional entries over the network or manipulating a

 

remote file, the optional entries may be unexpectedly deleted.
