Hello Karl,

 I have never used adsm to backup an automounted directory. But, is
/home/host1 a symbolic link to /tmp_mnt/home/host1? If it is not, try to
make it a symbolic link first. If that doesn't work, try "dsmc
incremental /home/host1/.". But I fear that won't work also. As far as I
know, ADSM looks through to mount table of Your host and does not find
anything named /home/host1. Maybe You should try to setup an include of
that directory tree into Your include/exclude list?

        Hope that helps, Matthias
