Cross Mount Point Examples
The next two examples illustrate the concepts mentioned above. In these examples, assume the client disks are partitioned as shown below.

Here, the client has /, /usr, and /home in separate partitions on disk d1. Another file system named /home/njr exists on disk d2 and is mounted on /home. In addition, disk d3 contains a directory named /net/freddie/home that is NFS-mounted on /net/freddie.
Example 1
Assume that you clear Cross Mount Points and Follow NFS and have the following entries in the backup selection list:
/
/usr
/home
In this case, NetBackup considers only the directories and files that are in the same file system as the backup selection list entry it is processing. It does not back up /home/njr or /net/freddie/home.
Example 2
Assume that you select Cross Mount Points and Follow NFS and include only / in the backup selection list.
In this case, NetBackup backs up all the files and directories in the tree, including those under /home/njr and /net/freddie/home.
To not back up everything, leave / out of the list and separately list the files and directories you want to include. The following backup selection list backs up only /usr and individual files under /:
/usr
/individual_files_under_root
