Hi Tobias,

Don't use the drive letter. It will work with the server name of the
remote machine.

e.g.:

define devclass remoteshare devtype=file dir="\\servername\tsmbackups"

        Vedr.:  define devclass file on w2k not working on mounted share?


hi all,

I would like to create a devclass of devtype=file on a windows 2000
server (w2k) running tsm5.1.0.0 using as dir-path a mounted share of
another machine. So what I do is I mount the share of the other machine,
using the gui-analogon to "net use" (sorry, German OS here, don,t know
the English terms by heart), on, say, drive f:, and then do

define devclass remoteshare devtype=file dir="f:\tsmbackups" on the
admin command line. result is

ANR8366E DEFINE DEVCLASS: Invalid value for DIRECTORY parameter.

I am told that on a Unix-machine, it is possible to define a devclass of
type file on mounted volumes...

Am I missing something here? What could be the solution to my problem?

Thanks in advance for any input,

kind regards, tobias hofmann :)
