You can try using the flag "/persistent:yes" on your NET USE command when initially mapping a drive from your windows b/a client to the NAS device. The mapped drive should still be available when you log out.
The only issue is that you will have to run your TSM Scheduler service under an account other than system, one which has rights to access the NAS device.

I am looking for suggestions. I have a NAS solution that needs to be backed up. I was hoping to specify a network drive on a particular windows b/a client, until I realized that I had to be logged in all the time to back it up. I want to be able to backup a NAS share without being logged in all the time...any suggestions are appreciated. The only thing that I can think of is to run a pre and post script that maps a drive prior to backing up. We have 2 RS/6000's with AIX 4.3.3 running Tivoli 4.1.4.1.
