I back ours up as virtualmountpoints on the ADSM server, so the client
runs on the server using the shared memory protocol.  I then exclude the
snapshots.  You wouldn't need virtualmountpoints if you want to run one
instance of dsm to backup the entire directory tree.  I run five dsm's in
parallel for this, whith each instance backing up a different
virtualmountpoint.

This is all accomplished via multiple server entries on dsm.opt and
multiple server stanzas in dsm.sys, each pointing at it's own
exclude-include file.
