Error description
When performing a fileset snapshot based backups of IBM Spectrum Scale using "mmbackup", as in the following example command: /usr/lpp/mmfs/bin/mmbackup /fs1/fileset_name -S mm_backup_snapshot_fileset_name --tsm-servers sp201 --scope inodespace -N ces --backup-threads 7 --max-backup-size 1048576 --max-backup-count 65000 --expire-threads 7 --max-expire-count 65000 -a 10 --noquote As can be seen, mmbackup is invoked on fileset /fs1/fileset_name and not on filesystem /fs1. Now suppose there is a file with a special character "file?.txt" within that fileset: /fs1/fileset_name/file?.txt During backup, the error will be seen: ANS4005E Error processing '/fs1/file?.txt': file not found Instead of: ANS4005E Error processing '/fs1/fileset_name/file?.txt': file not found Despite the above incorrect path being displayed, the actual expected filepath will correctly be stored on the IBM Spectrum Protect server : dsmc query backup /fs1/fileset_name/file?.txt Size Backup Date Mgmt Class A/I File ---- ----------- ---------- --- --------------------------- xx B <timestamp> DEFAULT A /fs1/fileset_name/file?.txt Initial Impact: Medium Tivoli Storage Manager Versions Affected: 7.1.x and 8.1.xTivoli Storage Manager Client on all supported platforms that support IBM Spectrum Scale Additional Keywords: TSM Spectrum Protect backup message incorrect path

Problem conclusion
The problem occurs if performing selective or incremental GPFS fileset snapshot backup using -filelist and -snapshotroot options from command line. If the filelist contains files which can not be backed up for any reason, the wrong path is displayed. After the fix, the correct path will be displayed.
