The TSM Scheduler service is running under an account that has permission to the share as well as the files in the share. If I specify the share name, all I get are security access errors on every file. Using the same userid I can to a run-as on Notepad and access the files on the share for reading. But when the backup runs as the same user every file gives an access denied error.

If the System account is running the client, it can only backup local drives. You need an account that has authority to backup non-local drives/shares. George Huebschman (George H.)

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.
