Hi GOC,
This is probably more a UNIX question then a TSM question.
I can't tell for sure if this is working on all UNIX/Linux OS but I run 
OpenSuSE 11 on my laptop and I can mount / (/dev/mapper/system-root) twice.
That mean I can backup my root with following filespace name /Christian/ 
instead of only /

Before you do a backup you need to run a pre-sched script that do a (in my 
case) >mount /dev/mapper/system-root /Christian< and then do you backup 
/Christian.

Best Regards
Christian Svensson
