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

Localbackupset

The localbackupset option specifies whether the Tivoli Storage Manager GUI bypasses initial logon with the Tivoli Storage Manager server to restore a local backup set on a standalone workstation. You can use this option on the command line or place it your client options file (dsm.opt).

If you set the localbackupset option to yes, the GUI does not attempt initial logon with the server. In this case, the GUI only enables the restore functionality.

If you set the localbackupset option to no (the default), the GUI attempts initial logon with the server and enables all GUI functions.

To start the GUI and bypass the initial logon with the server to restore a local backup set on a standalone workstation, enter:

   dsm -localbackupset=yes
Note:
The restore backupset command supports restore of local backup sets on a standalone workstation without using the localbackupset option. See Restore Backupset for more information.

Supported Clients

This option is valid for all UNIX clients.

Options File

Place this option in the client user options file dsm.opt or the client system options file dsm.sys.
