[Networker] Trouble backing up a CIFS mount

Sorry for the delay, but we've been working through various ideas in order to 
fix the below (I've updated the below to current environment).

We finally decided to use NDMP to do the CIFS backup (and probably the 
UNIX-side share too).

For some reason the Sun 7xxx NAS units are much more efficient at sending the 
data that way, than it is through the 'traditional' NDMP workaround of 'mount 
and backup manually.'

Also, we cannot get the Windows AD permissions to mount the CIFS as readable to 
everyone.

--TSK

[Side note - with Sun being part of Oracle now, our discount isn't applying to 
these licenses anymore.  Just a friendly heads-up to other EBS users. :) ]
