Administrator's Guide


Chapter 20. Protecting and Recovering Your Server

If the TSM database or recovery log are unusable, the entire TSM server is unavailable. Failure or loss of the database, recovery log, or storage pools can cause the unrecoverable loss of client data. This chapter describes how you can use TSM to guard against these situations.

Note:In the examples in this chapter, the term tape refers to any kind of sequential access, removable media unless otherwise indicated.

See the following sections:

Concepts:
"Levels of Protection"
Protecting Data:
"Backing Up Storage Pools"
"Backing Up the Database"
Recovering Data:
"Recovering by Using Mirrored Volumes"
"Recovering by Using Database and Storage Pool Backups"
"Backup and Recovery Scenarios"

In this chapter, most examples illustrate how to perform tasks by using the TSM command line interface. For information about the TSM commands, see Administrator's Reference, or issue the HELP command from the command line of a TSM administrative client.

All of the TSM commands can be performed from the administrative Web interface. For more information about using the administrative interface, see Quick Start.
