I've a user trying to restore a LINUX directory with links to itself (I

the directory:lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root     6 2005-03-29 11:00 swapoff ->
swapon).

When he tries a restore from either the CLI or gui, swapoff is restored,
but not swapon.  I ran a select on the directory from BACKUPS, and it
appears that only the link is TSM.  I'm wondering if the file itself was
ever backed up by TSM or only the link.  The options file has only the
bare
minimum needed to get the client to run, with no options specified.
