Hi Rodney we use successfully the following since 2 years: (for each Volume at the NAS server sznas01 we have a construct like the example "data1")
Content of dsm_a.opt NODENAME SZNAS01_A * EXCLUDE.DIR \\sznas01\tsmdata1$\[A-E]* EXCLUDE.DIR \\sznas01\tsmdata1$\[F-J]* EXCLUDE.DIR \\sznas01\tsmdata1$\[K-O]* EXCLUDE.DIR \\sznas01\tsmdata1$\[P-T]* EXCLUDE.DIR \\sznas01\tsmdata1$\[U-Z0-9$]* Content of dsm_b.opt NODENAME SZNAS01_B EXCLUDE.DIR \\sznas01\tsmdata1$\[A-E]* *EXCLUDE.DIR \\sznas01\tsmdata1$\[F-J]* EXCLUDE.DIR \\sznas01\tsmdata1$\[K-O]* EXCLUDE.DIR \\sznas01\tsmdata1$\[P-T]* EXCLUDE.DIR \\sznas01\tsmdata1$\[U-Z0-9$]* .... so we have 5 TSM-nodes at one NT machine defined. The advantage is that you don't have that big volumes to backup and recover from one TSM-node. We are able do do a full incremental of all volumes of our filer within 24 hours to TSM 5.2 @ MVS.
