Mac OS X volume names
The backup-archive client backs up volumes based on their UNIX mount point name.
Tivoli® Storage Manager maintains each volume name as a separate restore or retrieve volume. These volume names become the names of file spaces on the server.
If you change the name of a volume you have already backed up, the client sees it as a new volume and does not relate it to the previous one. Any backup of the volume backs up the files under the new name. A mismatch might occur if you rename your volumes, or if you access Tivoli Storage Manager from a different workstation than the one from which you backed up the files.

Tivoli Storage Manager creates all new file spaces on the server with the UNIX mount point of the volume. - Mac OS X volume naming precautions on dual boot systems
If you have more than one version of Mac OS X that you switch between, it is critical that you understand how the client uses the UNIX mount paths for file space names on the Tivoli Storage Manager server.
