Hmm,
I played around between TSM server and an test file server, 
both NT2000, 
TSM server beeing in a workgroup 
and test file server beeing in a domain.

I defined same local users on both,
NET USE from TSM server to test file server works, no password input
necessary (same passwords).
But

ok, familiar with the concept. And after playing around with it for a 
bit I started to realize that for the setup I had in mind here, I face 
the problem of having to pass along user- and passwordinformation, which 
does not seem to be possible within the "define devclass..." syntax - is 
that correct?

As effect of that, I would have to either take my backup-server-machine 
into the same domain as the machine I intend to create my backups on, or 
allow guest and anonymous login on that machine - is that correct also?

thanks again for the input and any further comments,

kind regards, tobi...
