Domain all-local Domain \\hostname\mountpoint \\hostname\mountpoint2 etc Works just fine. No need to map the drive to a drive letter. Only gotcha, most people run the TSM scheduler from the default "system" account, which has no network logon privileges, so it can't access those UNC names. You have to change the LOGON properties of the TSM scheduler service to run under a Windows account with domain privileges (and preferably an account whose password doesn't expire).

However, digging through some previous discussion threads related to this topic, I never fully grasped the resolution to the issue of using a "DOMAIN \\mountpoint" statement and whether using a DOMAIN statement precludes the need to perform a manual mount of the filesystem to a drive-letter or that the DOMAIN statement automagically processed the filesystem without the need for a "net. One discussion seemed to imply if this did work, it was a "bug". So, how do you backup CIFS?
