best/most effecient way to backup a CIFS Share

I'm trying to backup multiple CIFS shares and am trying to figure out the best way. This is what we did and I would like to know if there is a better way. We are using TSM 6.2 with a VTL. We setup two servers SXDCTPM and SXDCTPM01 and both are registered with Tivoli as nodes and assigned to d
