You will need to find out from your unix sys admin if he means just / or if
he wants a backup of vg00 "The root volume group".
Otherwise you need to include the following mount points:
/
/stand
/usr
/opt
/var
/tmp
/home

NetBackup already does this by default. If you put "/" in your filelist
and do NOT check "cross mount points", it will back up ONLY files on the
root filesystem and will not back up files in the mounted filesystems.
