TSM will back up the mount point (junction) and its attributes, but will
not traverse into it. It will, however, treat the mounted volume as a
separate file space and back it up.
For example, suppose E: is mounted under C:\somedir\mp.
When TSM backs up C:, it will back up C:\somedir, any files in c:\somedir,
and C:\somedir\mp. However, it will not traverse into C:\somedir\mp and
back up those file.
On the other hand, TSM will now treat C:\somedir\mp as a separate volume.
"dsmc query options domain" will list C:\somedir\mp among the volumes in
the domain (assuming it has not been excluded from the domain).
If you do not want C:\somedir\mp to be part of the backup domain, then it
can be excluded:
domain -c:\somedir\mp

The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
The command line is your friend.
"Good enough" is the enemy of excellence.
