About symbolic links and DB2 backups and restores (UNIX)

NetBackup for DB2 with Snapshot Client fully supports backups and restores of the data files that consist of symbolic links and regular files. Both the symbolic link and the actual file are backed up and restored. But if you select Retain snapshots for instant recovery, the symbolic link must reside on the same file system as the data file. When you use instant recovery, if the symbolic link resides on a different file system than the data file it points to, the restore fails.
