Tivoli Storage Manager for Windows: Administrator's Guide


Chapter 23. Protecting and Recovering Your Server

Failure or loss of the database, the recovery log, or storage pools can cause loss of client data. This chapter describes how you protect your server and, if necessary, recover your server.

Note:
The term tape refers to any kind of sequential access, removable media unless otherwise indicated.

Another way of protecting your data and ensuring that processing continues is by making use of clustering when it fits your system needs. See Chapter 10, Configuring and Managing Clusters for information on clustering.
