File System Traversal
Hi Everyone! I'm trying to set up Windows 2000 backup. Unfortunatelly I'm not good enough in Windows. What actually is Windows File System Traversal? What do I need these options for?

Hello,
File System traversal is used for backing up fixed disk and remote network mount points and specified filesystems. Using the filesystem traversal options, the mount points are crossed over during the backup. To know more about the options available , please refer Page 523 on the document:

Thanks for your reply! Is this relevant only to Windows? Could You please describe in details what do You mean by word "crossed over" or give an example?

You have an option in the dataset options as to how avtar behaves with file system traversal.The actual avtar flag that this gui option translates to is ‘[]default-traversal=false’. The screenshot shows like below:
