Again, I tried the same procedure with the same commands that
you did. The output from the restore command differs in that
it doesn't show the symbolic links. Even the "query backup"
command doesn't show them and the links are restored as
empty links. The ADSM server and client are installed on
an AIX 4.1.5 machine, the server version is 2.1.0.12 and
the client version is 2.1.0.6G.
