Tivoli Storage Manager Using the Application Program Interface
This manual provides information to help you perform the following tasks on
your workstation:
- Add Tivoli Storage Manager application program interface calls to an
existing application
- Write programs with general-use program interfaces that obtain the
services of Tivoli Storage Manager.
In addition to the API, the following programs are included on several
operating systems:
- A backup-archive client program that backs up and archives files from your
workstation or file server to storage, and restores and retrieves backup
versions and archived copies of files to your local file systems.
- A hierarchical storage management program that automatically migrates
eligible files to storage to maintain specific levels of free space on local
file systems. It automatically recalls migrated files when they are
accessed, and permits users to migrate and recall specific files.
- A Web backup-archive client that an authorized administrator, support
person, or end user can use to perform backup, restore, archive, and retrieve
services using a Web browser on a remote machine.
- An administrative client program that you can access from a Web browser or
from the command line. An administrator controls and monitors server
activities, defines storage management policies for backup, archive, and space
management services, and sets up schedules to perform these services at
regular intervals.
- A server program in a UNIX environment that performs either as a backup
and archive server, or as a migration server for distributed workstations and
file servers. The server program also supplies HSM services.
