I think you just have a syntax problem.
When I"ve done this before, to back up a drive on another host (for
example local drive E on the other host), the syntax I've used is:

doman all-local  "\\hostname\e$"

It's the same you UNC name you need if, on a Windows box, you do: Start
-> run and type in the UNC name of a drive/share on another host to
browse with Windows Explorer.  You should not add the "*" on the end.

You don't need the INCLUDE statement, it doesn't help.  You just have to
get the DOMAIN statement right.

To futher confuse the issue, when you add the UNC name to your dsm.opt,
if you open the GUI and look at Preferences -> BACKUP, the UNC names you
have added won't show up in the DOMAIN list.  It's a known limitation in
the 5.3.2 client.  BUT, the scheduler will still grab them OK.

BTW, your INCLUDE syntax is not correct.  "*.*" is bad (yes, I know it
is used, incorrectly, in some of the older TSM manuals)  The client is
pattern matching; *.* will get ONLY files that have a "." in the name.
A file called:  c:\barf\myfile would NOT be included.  The correct
syntax is:  INCLUDE "\dirname\...\*"

Hi,

We have:
TSM Client 5.3.2 running on Windows 2003
TSM Server 5.2.4 running on AIX v5.3.01
FAS960 running data ontap 7.0.2

I know something similar has appeared here earlier and that Pete
Tanenhaus
provided a response. But....

Our DSM.OPT file contains
DOMAIN      ALL-LOCAL "\\FILER\SHARE\FLDR\*"

INCLUDE "\\FILER\SHARE\FLDR\*.*"

On the windows 2003 server, we map the above share to a drive (example
Z:).
Using the DSMC command, i can back this up fine. Using the GUI, i can
also
back this up fine. However, when using the scheduled service, it failed
with message ' ANS1071E Invalid domain name entered:
'\\FILER\SHARE\FLDR\*'

Our Windows admin guy has changed the account under which the scheduled
service runs (from 'system') , to use an account which is a domain
administrator. But it still fails with the same error.



Any idea?

Thanks.
