We were able to determine it was a rights issue on the Isilon system.  TSM
needs root-level access.

However, our current problem is how TSM backs things up when using DFS
mounts.  Eventhough we specifically say to backup "\\rams.adp.vcu.edu\vpa\vp
administration\*", the only filesystem TSM sees and registers when it backs
up is the highest level, that being "\\rams.adp.vcu.edu\vpa" - it ignores
the "vp administration" sub-directory/folder.

Does anyone out there have experience with backing up DFS with TSM?  Is
this the way it is going to be?   This is back to each
department/group/area wanting total control over backup/restore of their
"shares".
