You may have already looked at this, but it may be a Windows permission
problem.
If the System account is running the client, it can only backup local
drives.
You need an account that has authority to backup non-local drives/shares.

Subject: [ADSM-L] Windows and symbolic links
Windows 2012R2 server
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?

I think a statement like
domain ALL-LOCAL \\server1\share1
will get the share backed up, if the account used to run backups has the
necessary permissions. The client scheduler service is typically run under
the system account, which typically does not have access to resources
owned by other systems.
