FOLLOWMOUNTPTS Job Option
You must specify a valid tape device name, but the device does not need to exist 
because the tape drive is not used.
FOLLOWMOUNTPTS Job Option
Use this job option to specify whether to include OSS filesets or not. ON is the default.
ON
restores other filesets mounted on a directory.
OFF
does not restore other filesets mounted on a directory.
Guidelines
The FOLLOWMOUNTPTS job option is supported only for OSS objects. If you 
specify this job option but do not specify any OSS objects, an error occurs.
If you have any files located in a directory used as a mount point, those file cannot 
be accessed or backed up.
IGNORE Job Option
Use this job option to specify how to handle data errors on the tape. OFF is the default.
ON 
ignores certain data errors on tape. If possible, the restore job copies the invalid 
data for the object. Otherwise, the restore job writes zeros in place of invalid data.
OFF 
does not ignore data errors on tape. If a data error occurs, the restore job purges 
the corrupt or incomplete object and begins restoring the next object.
INDEXES Job Option
Use this job option to specify whether indexes and index partitions should be included 
or ignored. INCLUDED is the default.
FOLLOWMOUNTPTS { OFF | ON }
IGNORE { ON | OFF }
INDEXES { EXCLUDED | INCLUDED }
