I depends on if the data is backed up at it source.

/opt from server1 mounted to /mnt on server2

I backup both servers.
Then I have no reason to backup /mnt as I am getting the same data I get
from /opt on server1.

As I backup the source server I don't backup NFS or CIFS mounts.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] What are your thoughts on filesystem monitoring?


Good thoughts here...  thank you!

One other question.  What about NFS mounts?  we have had to explicitly
list those in the policy else we just backup a place holder filesystem
"folder" with no data in it.

Is it better to just have the backup selections for a Unix F/S backup as
"/" and select Follow NFS and cross mount points or am I asking for
trouble?
