Lan, As much as GUIs sometimes make things easier to work with, it is often much easier to work with the raw options file in cases such as this.
It is likely that your options file is located in the same directory as the TSM client GUI executable, dsm.exe. Typically this is in C:\Program Files\Tivoli\TSM\baclient. However, if you are launching the GUI from a shortcut, check the shortcut properties to verify the path. In that same path is probably a file called "dsm.opt". What are the contents of that file? Also, what drives/directories do you really want to back up?

This may sound stupid. How did the domain list created at first place. Because my domain list showed wrong path to certain directory. For instance, for directory wwwroot which is under my c:\inetpub\wwwroot\, it was \\MyPCName\wwwroot in the domain list. And I kept getting "invalid path specified" error message. under the preferences, backup tab, there is no option for editing. please advice me. Thanks Lan Lan Wu-Cavener PennState
