I'm confused:
TSM client 5.3.x on Win2K:

If I map a network drive as drive F: and add it to my dsm.opt file this way:

        DOMAIN  ALL-LOCAL   F:

Assuming I have the right permissions, the scheduler will back up F: just fine.
When I open the GUI client and do edit-> preferences -> Backup, I can see F: is 
in the domain list, and I can select it for backup.


If I DON"T map a drive letter, but I add that same drive to my dsm.opt file 
this way:

        DOMAIN  ALL-LOCAL  \\host\d$

Assuming I have the right permissions, the scheduler will back up this drive 
just fine.
But when I open the GUI client and do edit -> preferences -> backup, it isn't 
in the domain list, and I can't select it from the GUI.

Is this WAD?  I found in the doc where the unc name is allowed in dsm.opt, but 
can't find an explanation of the difference in the scheduler and GUI behavior?


Thanks
