Backing Up UNIX Systems
Chapter 5 165
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.
Figure 5-8 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.
