Backing Up a Device Configuration
To specify one or more files in which to store a backup
copy of device
class definitions, library definitions, and drive
definitions, first complete the following fields and then click Finish,
or click Cancel to end the task.
File Name(s)
Enter the name of the file in which to store a backup copy of
device configuration information.
- You can specify more than one file or data
set by separating each file name with a comma, with
no intervening spaces.
- If you do not specify a list of files, Tivoli Storage Manager stores the
information in all files specified with the DEVCONFIG
option in the server options file.
Note: In order to ensure updates are complete before the server is halted:
- Do not halt the server for a few minutes after backing up device
configuration files.
- Specify multiple DEVCONFIG options in the server options file.
- Examine the device configuration file to see if the file is updated.
