Tivoli Storage Manager for Windows Backup-Archive Clients Installation and User's Guide

Domain

The domain option specifies the drives that you want to include for incremental backup in your client domain.

Notes:

  1. The Tivoli Storage Manager Client API does not support this option.
  2. The server can also define this option.

Use the domain option in your client options file to define your default client domain. Tivoli Storage Manager uses your default client domain in the following situations to determine which local drives to process during an incremental backup:

If you do not use the domain option to specify local drives in your client options file, Tivoli Storage Manager uses the all-local parameter as the default.

When you use the domain option with the incremental command, Tivoli Storage Manager adds local drives that you specify to the local drives defined in your client options file. For example, if you enter the following in your client options file:

   domain c: d: e:

and the following on the command line:

   dsmc incremental -domain="g: h:" 

Tivoli Storage Manager performs an incremental backup for your c: d: e: g: and h: local drives.

If you use both a file specification and the domain option with the incremental command, Tivoli Storage Manager ignores the domain option and processes only those drives that you specify in the file specification. For example, if you enter:

   dsmc incremental e: f: -domain="g: h:"
Tivoli Storage Manager performs an incremental backup for the e: and f: drives only.

Supported Clients

This option is valid for all Windows clients.

Options File

Place this option in the client options file dsm.opt.
