v The Solaris backup-archive client does not support the combination of QFS<strong>and</strong> SAM needed to archive files onto tertiary background storage, such astapes. Instead, it recalls files from tape to disk automatically if it findsmigrated files during a backup.v A QFS file system contains two hidden system files <strong>and</strong> a system directorythat cannot be backed up. This is acceptable because a backup of these filesis not needed. They contain internal data to manage the file system. Thisdata will be automatically excluded from a backup <strong>and</strong> recreatedautomatically by the file system itself if a restore of files in that file system isinvoked.5. Incremental, selective, filelist back up, archive, restore, <strong>and</strong> retrieve processingof the Veritas file system <strong>and</strong> its ACLs on AIX are supported. Restore of aVeritas volume on a Logical Volume <strong>Manager</strong> volume <strong>and</strong> vice-versa is allowedprovided both have the same file system type.Attention: If you are running GPFS <strong>for</strong> AIX or GPFS <strong>for</strong> <strong>Linux</strong> x86/x86_64 in amulti-node cluster, <strong>and</strong> all nodes share a mounted GPFS file system, <strong>Tivoli</strong> <strong>Storage</strong><strong>Manager</strong> processes this file system as a local file system. <strong>Tivoli</strong> <strong>Storage</strong> <strong>Manager</strong>backs up the file system on each node during an incremental backup. To avoidthis, you can do one of the following:v Explicitly configure the domain statement in the client user options file(dsm.opt) to list the file systems you want that node to back up.v Set the exclude.fs option in dsm.sys to exclude the GPFS file system from backupservices.Maximum file size <strong>for</strong> operationsTable 31 specifies the maximum file sizes <strong>for</strong> the native file systems on <strong>Tivoli</strong><strong>Storage</strong> <strong>Manager</strong> <strong>UNIX</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Linux</strong> client plat<strong>for</strong>ms.Note: The maximum file size depends on the type of a file system. The <strong>Tivoli</strong><strong>Storage</strong> <strong>Manager</strong> client does not check any file size limit during backup, archive,restore, or retrieve operations. As long as the file system allows creation of the file,the <strong>Tivoli</strong> <strong>Storage</strong> <strong>Manager</strong> client will back up or archive the file.Table 31.
