Unless you specify differently, The TSM scheduler service you install runs as 
the local administrator acccount. That account has no
idea of Microsoft networking. You need to change the TSM scheduler service to 
run as a local or domain userid that has access to
that share point on the NAS.

Subject: Scheduled backups won't find paths that manual/GUI backups do

TSM Server 5.3.15
TSM Client - Windows V5.3.0.15 - Windows 2003 Server SP1

This client is connected to our EMC Celerra NAS. It is setup to perform the 
backups, web-interface, etc.  The mounts are CIFS,
however we have tried doing standard "drive letter" mounts.

Here is the problem.

The Windows GUI can see and backup this CIFS mount, no problem.  Perfectly 
happy.

TSM scheduled incremental backups fail/do not see the mount.

So, we tried a manual backup creating a CMD file and run DSMC.  The command we 
run is:

dsmc i -optfile="c:\rose\rose-ots\dsm-ots.opt"  -subdir=yes 
"\\rose.adm.adp.vcu.edu\ots\*"

If we run this backup, manualy, it works great.

If the TSM schedule invokes the backup/CMD, it always errors with:

Incremental backup of volume '\\rose.adm.adp.vcu.edu\ots\*'
ANS1228E Sending of object '\\rose.adm.adp.vcu.edu\ots\*' failed ANS1063E 
Invalid path specification

We have tried every combination we can think of, we no luck.

What are we missing ?
