The Solaris client does not pick up tmpfs filesystems if you use the All
backup set. You can back it up if you list /tmp by name if you really
want to, but then you have to manually list all the filesystems.

Try telling the developer that code is always better the second time you
write it. (but don't forget to duck).

Hi all I've just a request to restore a file form /tmp on one of our
solaris (2.8) boxes. I've checked and I do not appear to have any
backups of this filesystem.Hi all I've just a Hi all I've just a request

I have ALL selected in the backup set
The /tmp filesystem is of type tmpfs
I backup Full every night.

Is this standard behaviour? I can see its point "if its not actually on
physical disk why put it on physical tape. But I could do with some
confirmation, as a developer left some code there and isn't happy.

TIA
