Hi,
I notice that /var/run doesn't get backed up on our primary backup
server (Solaris 9), but recover does list the directory itself, but no
contents for /var/run. Everything else under /var looks to be there,
though. Also, I notice that a Sun client (Solaris 9) that I ran a level
full on last night doesn't even list /var/run, but again, everything
else under /var looks to be listed in the recover window. Both clients
use the Unix standard directives. There are no client side directives. I
then checked several other Sun clients (all Solaris 10), and running
recover on those does show /var/run but again, no contents. Perhaps,
/var/run is simply something that NW would not back up, but I do see
that it's backed up on our Linux clients. Hmm ...
Also, interesting that the one Sun client running Solaris 9 doesn't even
list /var/run, but the other ones running Solaris 10 do at least list
the directory even though there's nothing backed up under it.
We're running 7.2.2 (both clients and servers).
Is it simply the nature of /var/run the excludes it from a given
client's backups but not another?
George
