Greetings.

When backing up a NAS, not infrequently, you mount the filesystems
Somewhere Else, if you want to avoid NDMP.

In NFS-lands, you can define a virtualmountpoint, and back up the NFS
region like any local disk.  It appears as a filespace, and
incremental start and success times are maintained automatically.

Windows doesn't have an analog to the virtualmountpoint directive, but
you can still specify a path, and back it up.

But when we do so, using

dsmc incr \\cns-fs01\c$\cnsfs01 -subdir=yes -optfile="c:\program 
files\tivoli\tsm\baclient\cns.opt"

the backup began / backup finished stats don't get updated.

How do you-all manage such things?  Is there some other config
directive I can use which will get those stats updated?


Here's the relevant optfile, with include/excludes elided.


NODENAME         CNS-OSGBACKUP
TCPSERVERADDRESS tsm-int.cns.ufl.edu
TCPPORT 1610

EXCLUDE [....]
