Tivoli Storage Manager for NetWare Backup-Archive Client Installation and User's Guide

Restoring a Disk In Case of Disk Loss

Tivoli Storage Manager can only recover your files if you can run the client. If the disk that contains the client is lost, you must reinstall the client before you can recover your files. If you also lose the disk that contains the operating system and communication software, you must recover them before you can connect to the server.

Note:
Data can be restored from a backup set stored on local drives or portable media without setting up communication with server. See Restoring Data from a Backup Set for more information about backup sets.

To protect yourself against these kinds of losses, put together a set of diskettes that you can use to restore your system to a state that permits you to contact the server and begin recovering data. These diskettes should contain:

  1. A bootable operating system that permits you to perform basic functions.
  2. A correctly configured communication program that will allow you to establish communications with the server.
  3. A client with an appropriately customized options file.

The exact files you need differ depending on the communication package you use. Consult your operating system and communication software manuals for help in setting up these diskettes
