To export server control information and client file data from the Tivoli Storage Manager server directly to another server for immediate import, complete the following fields. Then, click Finish, or click Cancel to end the task. You can also view this information from the server console.
Specify the type of files that should be exported for all nodes defined to the server. The following descriptions mention active and inactive backup file copies. An active backup file copy is the most recent backup copy for a file that still exists on the client workstation. All other backup file copies are called inactive copies.
Select an option for File Data.
All | Specifies that Tivoli Storage Manager exports all backup files, all archived files, and all files migrated from a user's local file system (space-managed files). |
None | Specifies that Tivoli Storage Manager exports no files, only server definitions. The default is None. |
Archive | Specifies that Tivoli Storage Manager exports only archived files. |
Backup | Specifies that Tivoli Storage Manager exports only backup versions, whether active or inactive. |
Backupactive | Specifies that Tivoli Storage Manager exports only active backup versions. |
Allactive | Specifies that Tivoli Storage Manager exports all active backup versions of files, all archived files, and all files migrated from a user's local file system (space-managed files). |
Spacemanaged | Specifies that Tivoli Storage Manager exports only files which have been migrated from a user's local file system (space-managed files). |
Specify the earliest date for which objects to be exported were stored on the server. Objects that were stored on the server earlier than the specified date will not be exported. Specify the date in MM/DD/YYYY format. If the File Data field specifies NONE, then this field is ignored.
Specify the earliest time for which objects to be exported were stored on the server. This field is only valid when you have entered a date in the From Date field. Objects that were stored on the server before the specified date and time will not be exported. If the File Data field specifies NONE, then this field is ignored. Specify the time with a format of HH:MM:SS. The default when used with the From Date field is midnight 00:00:00.
Enter the name of a target Tivoli Storage Manager server where the data for the export operation is to be directly imported.
Note: The specified target server must be defined on the originating server with the DEFINE SERVER command. The administrator that initiates the export operation must be defined with the same administrator name and password, and must have System authority on the target server.
Select an option. This parameter is optional. You can only use this option together with the To Server field. The default is No.
Yes | You want to preview the results of the import operation on the target server, without actually importing the data. Information on the number and types of objects exported, together with the number of bytes transferred are reported to the server console and the activity log. |
No | You want the node information to be imported on the target server. |
Specify whether client files are merged into existing file spaces on the target server (if they already exist) or if new file space names are generated. You can only use this option when you have a value entered in the To Server field. The default is No.
Select an option. This parameter is optional. You can only use this option together with the To Server field.
Yes | You want imported data on the target server merged with the existing file space, if a file space with the same name already exists on the target server. When you select Yes as an option, you must also select Absolute in the Dates field. |
No | You want a new file space name generated for the imported data on the target server if file spaces with the same name as that defined for the import data already exist. |
Specify whether to replace or skip definitions (not file data) on the target server. Select an option. This parameter is optional. You can only use this option together with the To Server field. The default is No.
Yes | You want definitions replaced on the server if definitions, having the same name as those being imported, already exist on the target server. |
No | You want the imported definitions skipped if their names conflict with definitions already defined on the target server. |
