  • 1. Have you any exclude_lists that may explain this?
    2. Do you know that it was backed up? It may be a partially complete backup for some reason.
    3. And a more obvious one - Is there anything in the directory anyway?

  • Have U set the cross mount point at the policy?

    try to fdisk -l  or a df- hk to see if that directory is in another slice (part).


  • Claudio has a very good point - the directory could possibly be a different mount point.
    Run 'bdf' on HP-UX to get a list of mount points.
