How about trying a test with an opt file targeted on just that UNC name?
Or try (maybe you already have) try mapping a drive to that share directly
rather than as a symbolic link on the drive.

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?
