Using the Web Client to Back Up Data

You can use Tivoli Storage Manager to back up specific files, a group of files with similar names, or entire directories. If you have the Web client acceptor started on your workstation, you can perform the backup tasks using the Web client backup-archive GUI. See Starting a Web Client Session for information on starting the Web client.

You can perform the backup tasks using the Web client backup-archive GUI, as follows:

  1. Click the Backup button from the main window. The Backup by Tree window appears.
  2. Expand the directory tree by clicking on the + sign. Click the selection boxes next to the object or objects you want to back up.
  3. Select one of the following backup types from the pull-down menu:
    1. To run an incremental backup, click Incremental (complete).
    2. To run an incremental backup by date, click Incremental (date only).
    3. To run a selective backup, click Always backup.
  4. To modify specific backup options, click the Options button. Any options you change are effective during the current session only.
  5. Click Backup. The Backup Task List window displays the backup processing status. When processing completes, the Backup Report window displays processing details.
