    /var is a separate mount point under /

    If you do not allow cross mount points, it will not backup /var.  If you allow cross mount points, it will.

     How do you find a disk based image via the command line and then delete it?

    Look in the reports, some of them refer to disk images - one way

    bpimagelist - then search for the disk based images in the FRAG lines - another way

    Look directly in the disk STU at the actual backup images, the names of the files contain the backupid.

    Use bpexpdate -backupid <backupid> to expire them.
