Yes, but this option only means, that ADSM follows an
existing symbolic link when restoring a file. When the
symbolic link "temp -> odm" exists and I restore the
file "temp/fileA", ADSM restores the file "odm/fileA"
when the option FOLLOWSYMBOLIC is set. But when the
symbolic link has been deleted, ADSM creates a new
directory "temp" and restores the file "temp/fileA".
ADSM does NOT recreate the symbolic link "temp -> odm".
That's the problem.
