Tivoli Storage Manager for Windows Backup-Archive Clients Installation and User's Guide
Your administrator can schedule Tivoli Storage Manager to perform tasks
automatically on a regular basis. For example, you can automatically
back up files at the end of each day or archive some of your files every
Friday. This procedure, known as central scheduling, is a
cooperative effort between the server and your client node. Your administrator associates clients with one or more schedules
that are part of the policy domain maintained in the server
database. The administrator defines central scheduling on the server and you
start the client scheduler on your workstation. Once you start the
client scheduler, further intervention is not necessary.
With client scheduling, you can also:
- Display information about available schedules.
- Display information about work that the schedule has completed.
- Modify scheduling options in the client options file.
- The scheduler can be installed as a service on Windows NT, 2000, or
.NET and can be set to start automatically when the system is
rebooted. The scheduler can be setup to run as a service using the
Setup Wizard.
- When setup to run as a service, the scheduler can be configured to run in
normal mode, or managed by the TSM Client Acceptor (CAD). The CAD will
automatically stop and start the schedule service when necessary to save
system resources when it is not in use. You can configure this using
the Setup Wizard.
Notes:
- The schedule start time is based on the server's local time, not the
workstation's.
- Install the command line client and ensure the communication software is
running before you start the client scheduler.
