yes, the backup was traversing the snapshots as well.
however, it shouldn't have been an issue, since "follow NFS" was turned
off.

I'm pretty sure at this point that it was happening because the mount
point was created (/mnt/filer) and a symlink created /filer ->
/mnt/filer and then the share was mounted onto /filer, rather than
/mnt/filer.

this link deeked out netbackup, so it couldn't see that the mount was of
type "NFS".

I haven't been able to thouroughly test this theory yet, though.

I didn't do it, and I was as suprised as the next guy
when I saw it.
The backup ran real long (250 Gig, rather than the
expected 2 Gig) so the admin of the box sent me a df output, so I just
thought it was mounted on /mnt/filer then I browsed the backup image and
said "WTF???"

Paul,

I'm seeing a similar thing associated with a new post I'll do.
I found the df or bdf commands were not listing the "." directories.
The backups were walking all of the .snapshot directories and backing up
considerably more data than expected.
