Richard,

I'm glad you mentioned VirtualMountPoint.  Is there ANY way to simulate
that in Windows?

What I've found is that the TSM client can back up the local machine via
its shares, and that gives better granularity if you want to use
backupsets,especially on a large file server.  But what I would like to do
is create a share point that no one can connect to so that we don't end up
with wierd mappings out in the field.  But once you do that, then TSM
can't connect to it either, and you're right back to going through the
local file system.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Collocation is often diminished in List discussions for lack of
qualification.  That is, there are two types of Collocation:
by node, and by filespace.  Therein lies additional opportunity,
further enhanced by VIRTUALMountpoint.  Subdivide and conquer.
The beauty of the product is all the flexibility it offers in
tailoring backup and restoral.
