On the note of missing filesystems/mount points. Is there a way to setup TSM to pick everything and exclusively exclude when required? This would somewhat eliminate the issue (but might cause more disk/tape consumption) somewhat so that the backups will occur if someone creates a new fs but forgets to add it to the TSM backup schedule.

Good client monitoring does Query Filespace checks anyway, so comparing against the file systems complement is a minor extension.
