-----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Bill Boyer Sent: Friday, August 14, 2015 10:08 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [ADSM-L] Windows and symbolic links
Windows 2012R2 server TSM 7.1.2.0 client The customer has a drive with a symbolic link off to a UNC share path. When the backup runs it backs up the drive, but does not follow the symbolic link and backup the UNC share. Which is what we really want to accomplish. The FOLLOWSYMBOLIC=YES is ignored in the DSM.OPT file. I know it says *NIX only, but I was hoping. Anybody know of a way to get TSM to follow that symbolic link on the drive? Bill Boyer -----End of Original Message----- I think a statement like domain ALL-LOCAL \\server1\share1 will get the share backed up, if the account used to run backups has the necessary permissions. The client scheduler service is typically run under the system account, which typically does not have access to resources owned by other systems.
