Error description
Directories that are remote or local filesystem mount points, unexpectedly are included in the objects processed by the backup. This happens when the file system contains a directory and that the directory itself is also the mount point for another file system. Example: File system /Volumes/Test contains a directory 'dir1' : /Volumes/Test/dir1 and the directory 'dir1' is also the mount point for another file system. The incremental backup of the file system "/Volumes/Test" will also backup the file system "/Volumes/Test/dir1" although it should not. IBM Spectrum Protect Client Versions Affected: IBM Spectrum Protect Client 8.1 on Mac Initial Impact: Medium Additional Keywords: tsm backup mountpoint directory
Local fix
Exclude the directory from the backup : EXCLUDE.DIR /Volumes/Test/dir1
