Hi all.,

     I have this DSM opt issue, I edited this one to backup only the drives
locally, and it still goes out and backs up the stuff on the mapped drives.
This is getting expensive to the customer, and I need to figure out why it
does not do as the file directs.
 here is the DSM.opt file I am working with. Any ideas would be helpful.
 Thanks
