[comp.sys.apollo] Using Wbak Across File Systems

wescott@LNIC1.HPRC.UH.EDU (Andrew M. Wescott) (04/15/89)

We have some users that own directories on nodes other than
the node where their home directory resides (Hope you can follow
that!).  They typically move to those directories through a command
like cd <some symbolic link> rather than typing the full pathname.
Some of these links resolve to directories on Apollo nodes, while
others resolve to nodes that are remote mounted via Domain NFS.

Question:

Since all the users' home directories presently reside on one 760 MB
disk, is it possible for me to back up across all the symbolically
linked directories on other nodes while backing up this principal
disk?  It sure would be very convenient for me if this is possible.

If it is any help, all of our Apollo nodes (DN 10000 and DN3500s)
are running BSD 4.3 under SR 10.

Thank you,
