NSS Volumes on Linux OES with DP 6.20

When you need to backup NSS volumes on a Linux OES server with Data Protector 6.2 it might be the case that the NSS volumes are not listed within GUI and you might receive the following error: 12:1304 The mountpoint/file-system cannot be backed up. In this case you need to modify the file /opt/omni/lbin/.util. Search for i.e. -t ext3 or -t reiserfs, you will find it only once. Now you can insert -t nssvol. In this way the disk agent can discover the NSS volumes during the df process and the volumes are listed as separated mountpoints in the GUI. By the way this trick will also work for other filesystems on Linux; you only need to modify .util with the corresponding filesystem. And at the end as Novell consultant from old school I’d like to say: Long lives NSS!
