Enter the following command to back up link junction information:dsmc inc \\almaden\snj64test3. Enter the following command to back up data at the tools link:dsmc inc \\almaden\snj64test\tools4. Enter the following command to back up data at the trees link:dsmc inc \\almaden\snj64test\treesNote: DFS Replication uses staging folders to act as caches for new and changedfiles to be replicated from sending members to receiving members. If you do notwant to backup these files, you can exclude them from your backup using theexclude.dir option.exclude.dir x:\...\DfsrprivateRestore procedure:1. Manually recreate shares at target workstations only if they no longer exist.2. Manually recreate the Dfs root using the exact name as it existed at the time ofback up.3. Enter the following command to recover data from the tools link. This step isnot necessary if the data still exists at the link target:dsmc restore \\almaden\snj64test\tools\* -sub=yes4. Enter the following command to recover data from the trees link. This step isnot necessary if the data still exists at the link target:dsmc restore \\almaden\snj64test\trees\* -sub=yes5. Use the Distributed File System management console snap-in to reestablishreplication for each link, if necessary.Tivoli Storage Manager limitations:v Tivoli Storage Manager does not restore root of Dfs. To recreate the Dfs tree,manually create the Dfs root first, then start restore to recreate the links.v Tivoli Storage Manager can back up the Dfs tree (both domain based Dfs andstand alone Dfs) hosted on local workstation only. You cannot back up Dfs if theDfs host server is not your local workstation.v Tivoli Storage Manager cannot recreate shared folders on restore. For example, ifyou delete the junction and the shared folder the junction points to, restoring theDfs root recreates the Dfs junction, but restoring a junction creates a local folderinstead of creating the original backed up shared network folder.v If a Dfs link is created with replica and the replica share is on a different server,then Tivoli Storage Manager does not display the replica data.160 IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for Windows Backup-Archive Clients: Installation and User's Guide
