The folks are our shop who handle the big network shares use DFSR to replicate data to DR servers. Our TSM backups take place on the DR server with a standard BA client. Restores requires.

As I understand it, its chief purpose is to economize on high cost data storage. I had not heard of DFS before you asked about it. It seems that it replicates filesystems on one server to other servers. What I read implies that one use is for low bandwidth networks. If that is the case, you should be able to use a standard BA Client. Particularly in 6.2 with compression at the client, you could even back up the distant Clients with little network impact if data change is not heavy. But, do you really need to? What benefit is there to backing up a distant clone of a local filesystem? We backup DR servers at a remote location using TSM servers at that DR Data Center because it would not do much good to have the DR data backed up at the primary site. In our case there is an entire data center to back up at the distant site, not one server. But, if you have your local server backed up, you should be able to replicate using DFS if a distant server fails or a filesystem becomes corrupt. You are already paying for it.
