Since this is a Windows Client, I would go into the the GUI BAClient and
then go to  Edit>Preferences

Then under the Backup tab, uncheck the box Backup All Local File
Systems.

Then select only the file systems that you want to backup.

That should do the trick.   We did just the opposite of you because we
only wanted to backup only the mapped drives.

Let me know if you still have problems.

Thanks!

Some suggestions:


- Check the client node definition on the TSM server to see if it is

associated with a client option set that has a DOMAIN statement in it
that

might be adding the network shares.


- Check the schedule definition to see whether the OBJECTS or OPTIONS

settings specify any additional file systems. Make sure you check the

system you think you are backing up to (I notice your dsm.opt file

contains two TCPSERVERADDRESS settings, albeit with one commented out).


- Make sure the client is using the options file you *think* it is
using.

Use the dsmcutil command to display the scheduler service configuration,


and see if it points to a different options file. Check whether

environment variable DSM_CONFIG exists, and if it points to a different

options file.


- Run the command line interface as follows:


  dsmc q opt domain


and see what the output shows.


- Check the dsmsched.log file and check the options shown at the
beginning

of the scheduled event. Also check for lines that read:


  Incremental backup of volume 'blah'

The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.

The command line is your friend.

Good enough is the enemy of excellence.
