I believe Netbackup will back up the symlink as a symlink, i.e. not try to
follow it.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Symlink


Hi All,

I am wondering how symlinks work, I normally install software in
/usr/local/software-version so for example:

/usr/local/mailman-2.1.2 

I symlink this to /usr/local/mailman so I always know the production version
is located in this directory - If I point NB 3.4 at this symlink will it
backup correctly?

Thanks,
Timothy.
