Policy validation fails if the specified CIFS share path contains a forward slash
Policy validation fails when CIFS share the path specified in backup selection fails as Snapshot Client backup does not support the path that contains a forward slash. For example, the path \\NASFiler1/dataShare1 for OST_FIM and C:\backup/testdir for VSS FIM are not supported.
Veritas recommends that you use the back slash when you specify the backup selection. For example, \\NASFiler1\dataShare1 and C:\backup\testdir are valid paths.
