Terry,

can access all of the CIFS filesystems via \\servername\c$.

As for permissions, what you need to do is create a service account with
the proper permissions, and have the NetWorker service on the client
you are using to backup the CIFS volumes, run under the service account.

For my savesets, I list each CIFS filesystem separately, so it looks
like:

        save set: "\\\\s01-ns40-cifs\\c$\\dept_docs",
                  "\\\\s01-ns40-cifs\\c$\\dept_hr",
                  "\\\\s01-ns40-cifs\\c$\\dept_is",
                  "\\\\s01-ns40-cifs\\c$\\dept_research";

Hi Paul

Thanks for the reply. According to the NetWorker documentation, CIFS file shares should be mounted via UNC mount point. Would mounting them that way affect the issue you saw: "CIFS on the other hand can be a problem as they only seem to be mounted by Windows for an active login session and are not normally permanently available . . ."?

Thanks
