Cross Mount Points
The Cross Mount Points policy attribute applies only to certain policy types and
NetBackup allows you to select it in only those instances.
The Cross Mount Points policy attribute controls whether NetBackup crosses file system
boundaries during a backup or archive on UNIX clients or whether NetBackup enters
volume mount points during a backup or archive on Windows clients.
◆ If you select Cross Mount Points, NetBackup backs up or archives all files and
directories in the selected path, regardless of the file system. For example, if you
specify root (/) as the file path, NetBackup backs up root (/) and all files and
directories under it in the tree. Usually, this means all the client’s files, other than
those available through NFS.
◆ If you clear Cross Mount Points, NetBackup backs up or archives only files and
directories that are in the same file system as the selected file path. This lets you back
up a file path such as root (/) without backing up all the file systems that are mounted
on it (for example, /usr and /home).
Notes on Cross Mount Points
◆ Cross Mount Points has no effect on UNIX raw partitions. If the raw partition that is
being backed up is the root partition and has mount points for other file systems, the
other file systems are not backed up even if you select Cross Mount Points.
◆ Do not use Cross Mount Points in policies
