There was a similar bug in the Archive function for the V3.1.0.1 client -
problem was that the GUI was constructing the filespace name incorrectly and
passing a name to the server with an extra "\", which made it look like a
UNC name, which in that case it should not have been.

Anyway, sounds like a similar problem; what version of the client are you
running?  Are you on PTF 5 or 6, so that your filespace names have been
converted to UNC names?

My suggestion would be to upgrade to the current version (3.1.0.6);
and/or
go to the command line and do a Q FILESPACE to see what ADSM is calling your
C: drive;
then try a backup from the command line.

If you still have a problem, then maybe it's a memory limitation or a file
system problem;
but if you get different results from the GUI and the command line, you
should probably report it as a bug.

Good luck!
