Fran,
        HSM is different than a backup, and serves a different purpose than 
convenience restores or Disaster Recovery.  As I understand it, its chief 
purpose is to economize on high cost data storage.

        I had not heard of DFS before you asked about it.  It seems that it 
replicates filesystems on one server to other servers.  What I read implies 
that one use is for low bandwidth networks.

        If that is the case, you should be able to use a standard BA Client.  
Particularly in 6.2 with compression at the client, you could even back up the 
distant Clients with little network impact if data change is not heavy.  But, 
do you really need to?  What benefit is there to backing up a distant clone of 
a local filesystem?
        We backup DR servers at a remote location using TSM servers at that DR 
Data Center because it would not do much good to have the DR data backed up at 
the primary site.  In our case there is an entire data center to back up at the 
distant site, not one server.
        But, if you have your local server backed up, you should be able to 
replicate using DFS if a distant server fails or a filesystem becomes corrupt.  
You are already paying for it.

Hi,

I would like to know how I can save Microsoft DFS-R with TSM, any ideas?  , can 
I use HSM for Windows ?
