I'm trying to backup multiple CIFS shares and am trying to figure out the best 
way.  This is what we did and I would like to know if there is a better way.  
We are using TSM 6.2 with a VTL.

We setup two servers SXDCTPM and SXDCTPM01 and both are registered with Tivoli 
as nodes and assigned to daily schedules.  The options file is below for one of 
the servers.

NODENAME                      sxdctpm01
TCPSERVERADDRESS      sxdctsm01
schedlogretention          7
ERRORLOGRETENTION   7
compression                     no
COMPRESSALWAYS                         no
schedmode                        prompted
PASSWORDACCESS         GENERATE


exclude c:\...\*

Is this the best way to backup CIFS shares.  We are getting horrible 
performance and the backups seem to run  forever.  Is there a better way?  
Thanks
