First piece of advice: Don't back up over NFS if you have any choice at all. Put a client on the NFS server instead and back up there. Trying to back up an NFS-mounted filesystem over the NFS mount very, very, *very* rarely ends well. It is an option of last resort. > The trouble with "onefs=no" is that the users could easily have symlinks > to other filesystems, that I don't want to back up.

Symbolic links are backed up as symbolic links, not as their targets. -- Phil Stracchino Babylon Communications ph...@caerllewys.net p...@co.ordinate.org Landline: 603.293.8485 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Transform Data into Opportunity.
