Notes on Follow NFS

• The behavior of the Follow NFS attribute depends on the Cross mount points setting (explained later in this chapter).
• Follow NFS has no effect on raw partitions. NFS file systems mounted in a raw partition are not backed up, nor can you back up raw partitions from other machines using NFS mounts to access the raw partitions. The devices are not accessible on other machines through NFS.
• Follow NFS causes files in Automounted file systems to be backed up. To exclude automounted directories while allowing backup of other NFS mounts, add an entry for the automounter's mount directory to the exclude list on the client.
