Greetings,
    I have a server that I can't install the TSM client on because the
vendor who owns it won't permit it.   One alternative seemed to be to
share the directory that must be backed up, and acces that share from
another server to back it up explicitely as an object.   We created a
share on that server that we can access from another server.
    I can log in to the other server, bring up the TSM line mode client,
and back it up with:
 
dsmc inc \\172.17.16.101\archive2\ -subdir=yes
 
And that backs up fine.  But when I build a schedule with the
\\172.17.16.101\archive2\ <file://172.17.16.101/archive2/>  as the
object, it fails.  The dsmsched.log is below.  Does anyone know the
scheduler won't backup a filesystem that the linemode client backs up
fine?
