We solved this one here.  In your dsm.opt file on client if you hgave a DOMAIN 
statement modify it and if not (DOMAIN ALL-LOCAL is default) then add it.

DOMAIN /tmp ALL-LOCAL

This backs up /tmp and all-local.  NOTE: If you put /tmp after all-local it 
won't work.

The backup of /tmp was discussed some time ago. I remember a post from the
"Using the Backup-Archive Clients for UNIX" manual stating:

all-local
        Backs up all local file systems except LOFS file systems and LOFS
through automounter.  This is default.

        The /tmp directory is not included.

I can even find this reference in the manual. But, does anyone have a
workaround? We have a situation where we need to backup /tmp/sumpin and
can't get this overridden no matter what we do with include statements or
client option sets. Can anyone help?

TIA
