Think about it in the context of creating a share except using a drive letter versus an alpha-numeric string. The data in both cases is backed under the full path, or actual location, and not as a separate file system. The actual substitute definition is a part of the registry and captured as a part of the system-state. It can be found at: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\DOS Devices] Thank you, -Rick Adamson -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager <ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU> On Behalf Of Loon, Eric van (ITOP NS) - KLM Sent: Thursday, July 18, 2019 5:37 AM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: [ADSM-L] How to make dsmc recognize drives * This email originated outside of the organization. Use caution when opening attachments or clicking links. * ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi guys, For some tests I want to create separate drives in Windows and back them up with SP. I create these drives with the subst command (subst D: c:\<target directory>). The drives created are visible in the Windows GUI and accessible through the Windows command line, but the Spectrum Protect client does not recognize them. Does anybody know how to make dsmc recognize them as a separate drive? Thanks for any help in advance!
