- chuck@edsi.plexus.COM (Chuck Tomasi) describes a problem with fbackup in
- a NFS environment not backing up certain directories.
-
- I do not want to play down the severity of this problem, but these
- kind of cases are not what I had in mind with my "silent data corruption"
- reference. Your case is (potential) data loss, not data corruption. While
- inspection of the index would have revealed the problem, the problem is,
- for all practical purposes, indeed silent.

- Can you give, for the benefit of the audience, give an HP Service
- Request number or other reference for this problem?
-
- As a general advice: I would advice to use the "-f machine:device"
- option of fbackup, instead of using fbackup accross NFS mounts.
