My problem is exactly what you described. The most active users are going on different LPARS and relying on automount to dismount their HFS from the old (last used) LPAR. I am not even sure where I could get the list of known users to mount! Matt

That way TSM should backup all the mounted mountpoints. Assuming that if the users directory is mounted, they probably changed something. Unless they are going to be logging on to different systems and need they user directory to be automounted there after being dismounted after 10-minutes. I'm trying to remember where I saw that....I hate getting old!! It was recommended that you not put a timeout value for the automount filesystem so that the backup client can process those HFS's. Let them mounted until the next IPL.

I have read that HFS's that are automounted will NOT be backed up by an incremental backup. We use automount to mount all USER HFS's as they are referenced. These HFS's are dismount 10 minutes after they are no longer used. Which of course is what I would like to backup. I think I may have to come up with something that will mount everything at IPL time, before the TSM scheduler is started, and then again as a PRE-SCHEDULE event. Has anyone else worked through this? I would be interested in what others have done to solve this. Thanks in advance Matt
