Re: [ADSM-L] Virtual Mount Points for windows clients?

For non-Unix/Linux operating systems, there is no virtualmountpoint feature
in TSM. However, one way to accomplish what you want is to define shares
for the directories you want to back up, then add the share names to your
domain. For example:

On Windows machine "araibeck", create a share for the "andyr" and "storman"
user directories:

   net share andyr=c:\users\andyr
   net share storman=c:\users\storman

In dsm.opt specify:

   domain \\araibeck\andyr \\araibeck\storman

If you also want to back up C:, but skip the andyr and storman directories
when processing C:, then in dsm.opt specify:

   domain c: \\araibeck\andyr \\araibeck\storman

   exclude c:\users\andyr
   exclude c:\users\storman

Best regards,

Andy

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