How about trying a test with an opt file targeted on just that UNC name? Or try (maybe you already have) try mapping a drive to that share directly rather than as a symbolic link on the drive.

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?
