The ADSM backup commands will not jump file system boundaries when descending
a directory subtree. As a result, you are missing everything outside the file
system mounted as '/'. If your file system layout is at all typical, this
includes, among other things, /usr and all its descendents, /home and all its
descendents, and any file systems set up specifically for Oracle code and data.
