Veritas Storage Foundation 5.1 SP1 Advanced Features Administrator"s Guide (5900-1503, April 2011)

In the example above, you must include both the symbolic link dbfile and the
hidden file .dbfile in the file list of the backup class.
If you want to back up all Quick I/O files in a directory, you can simplify the process
by just specifying the directory to be backed up. In this case, both components of
each Quick I/O file will be properly backed up. In general, you should specify
directories to be backed up unless you only want to back up some, but not all files,
in those directories.
When restoring a Quick I/O file, if both the symbolic link and the hidden file
already exist, NetBackup will restore both components from the backup image.
If either one of or both of the two components are missing, NetBackup creates or
overwrites as needed.
