    Ticket 49241 - Update man page and usage for db2bak.pl
    
    Description:  The usage and man page should state thtthe backup directory
                  is actually a symlink to the the server's backup directory.
                  Otherwise it is misleading, and could eventaully lead to
                  diskspace issues.
