That is correct, if you don't backup the source client  in the DFS enabled 
server, then by default networker will just skip the files  & the result 
is that you will not be able to recover the  DFS enabled  root file 
system.

While we haven't implemented DFS (yet), my understanding is that DFS is 
sort of a Windows version of a Unix mount point. The DFS root name is 
equivalent to a pointer, so you should be backing up the client where the 
DFS root points at.

I think. :-)
