There is one thing to keep in mind when you change the dsm.opt on an NT
system to make TSM think you are a different node.
The driver letters c:,d:, etc.. get substituted to their UNC names
based on the machinename of the machine that is doing the backups and
restores.
Say I have a machinename 'Backup' and I've done backups on it of
the c drive. Well the unc filespace name is \\Backup\c$.
Now if I go to a server named 'Restore' and try to restore and
I use the syntax 'dsmc restore c:\*.*' it will use the unc name
\\Restore\c$.
