TSM 7.1.2.0 client



The customer has a drive with a symbolic link off to a UNC share path. When
the backup runs it backs up the drive, but does not follow the symbolic link
and backup the UNC share. Which is what we really want to accomplish. The
FOLLOWSYMBOLIC=YES is ignored in the DSM.OPT file. I know it says *NIX only,
but I was hoping.



Anybody know of a way to get TSM to follow that symbolic link on the drive?
