Hi,

Does anybody out there know whether there is a way to exclude
symbolic links from an archive operation?

We are doing a 'archive -subdir=yes /myfilesystem' on a node
that contains rather a lot of symbolic links.

ADSM writes all the files to which the links point to tape.
This is not what we want to happen. Is there a way to tell ADSM
to skip those links? I can't find it anywhere in the manuals.

Regards,

Alexander
