Hi Justin

NetBackup always backs up symbolic links as symbolic links, so if you want
to backup the data the symbolic link points to you have to provide the
physical path to data.

This concerns UNIX:

I need to look this up but was wondering if anyone knew off the top of 
their head how to make NetBackup backup what a symlink points to or if 
that is even possible?

I know about the cross-link option but that concerns mounts and 
filesystems, not sym-links.

Justin.
