> "Restore Directories Without Crossing Mount Points"
that's exactly what you want to select.
If you want to restore just /, then that's all it will
restore with this option selected. If this option
isn't selected, as you have probably found out, it will
restore / and all of the filesystems under the mount
points. the Mount Points are where your file systems
are mounted, in this case underneath /.
if you are running solaris and you do a
df -k
it will show you the file systems you have out here.
This is abreviated:
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 /
/dev/dsk/c1t0d0s0 /usr
/dev/dsk/c1t1d0s0 /home
Without /usr and /home being mounted, /usr and /home
off of root are just 'directories'.
I hope I didn't insult your intelligence by getting so
basic, but I just wanted to make sure it covered your
question fully.
Kindest Regards,
