Supported ClientsThis option is valid <strong>for</strong> all clients. The <strong>Tivoli</strong> <strong>Storage</strong> <strong>Manager</strong> client API does notsupport this option.Syntax►► FILESOnly ►◄FollowsymbolicParametersThere are no parameters <strong>for</strong> this option.ExamplesComm<strong>and</strong> line:dsmc incremental -filesonlyDuring a backup operation, the followsymbolic option specifies whether you wantto use a symbolic link as a virtual mount point. During a restore or retrieveoperation, the followsymbolic option specifies how the <strong>Tivoli</strong> <strong>Storage</strong> <strong>Manager</strong>client restores a directory whose name matches a symbolic link on the restoretarget file system.For backup operations, followsymbolic option can influence the virtualmountpointsetting. If you use the virtualmountpoint option to specify a symbolic link as avirtual mount point, you must also set followsymbolic. If a symbolic link is notspecified as a virtual mount point, followsymbolic is of no consequence duringbackup operations.During restore <strong>and</strong> retrieve operations, followsymbolic can influence how the clienth<strong>and</strong>les a symbolic link on the file system. Set followsymbolic only when the clientattempts to restore a directory whose name matches a symbolic link on the restoretarget file system.If followsymbolic=no (the default), the client does not restore the contents of thedirectory, but returns this error message: ANS4029E Error processing ’filespacename path-name file-name’: unable to build a directory path; a file existswith the same name as a directory.If followsymbolic=yes, the client restores the contents of the directory to the targetof the symbolic link.For example, assume the client backed up a file with this path:/fs1/dir1/subdir1/file1. Assume also that there exists on the restore target filesystem a symbolic link /fs1/dir1, which links to /fs88/dir88/subdir88. Restore thefile with the comm<strong>and</strong>: restore /fs1/dir1/subdir1/file1. Iffollowsymbolic=no,the client does not restore the file, but returns the error message. Iffollowsymbolic=yes, the client restores file1 to /fs88/dir88/subdir88/subdir1/file1.If you restore a symbolic link (not a directory) whose name matches a symboliclink on the restore target file system, the followsymbolic option has noconsequence. The client restores the symbolic link.320 <strong>IBM</strong> <strong>Tivoli</strong> <strong>Storage</strong> <strong>Manager</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>UNIX</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Linux</strong> <strong>Backup</strong>-<strong>Archive</strong> Clients Version 6.1: Installation <strong>and</strong> User’s Guide
