I have a slightly different situation.  I would like to replace a server
without causing a full backup.  I want to replace server NAS1 with a new
box named SRV1.  We have an (M:) drive on NAS1.  We are removing that
LUN and presenting the (M:) drive to SRV1.  How do I get TSM filespace
\\NAS1\M$ to \\SRV1\M$ without causing a full backup? 

Thanks,

Brett

Doug -

Under normal circumstances (same file system type, etc.) the rename
causes the prevailing filespace to fully represent that client file
system, so you should get a simple incremental.  I've done this many
times in Unix.
