Automount

The automount option adds an automounted file system into the domain by mounting it. Use this option with the domain option.

Use this option to specify all automounted file systems that the backup-archive client tries to mount at the following points in time:

When the client starts
When the backup is started
When the the client has reached an automounted file system during backup

Mount the file system before the client does a backup of that file system. If the file system is always mounted before the backup is done, it is unnecessary to explicitly specify an automounted file system in the automount option. However, add this file system in the automount option to ensure that the file system has been mounted at all the points in time mentioned previously. The automounted file systems are remounted if they have gone offline in the meantime during a backup.

Supported Clients

This option is valid for all UNIX platforms except Mac OS X. The IBM Spectrum Protect™ API does not support this option.

Options File

Place this option in the client user options file (dsm.opt).
