soft link
Hi,
I have a folder /u01/backup. But due to some reason, the bacups are kept under /u03/backup.
When a program tries to look for files in /u01/backup, it has go and get the files from /u03/backup
Can i achieve this by softlink ?
Thx

What program are you using? Can you not tell the program to back up both /u01/backup and /u03/backup?

Try this:
Code:# rmdir /u01/backup # ln -s /u03/backup /u01/backup
