|
Use the archive command to archive a single file, a group of
files, or all files in a directory and its subdirectories. If you want
to archive all the files in a directory and its subdirectories, use the
subdir=yes option. For example, to archive the
files in the d:\proj directory and its subdirectories,
enter:
dsmc archive d:\proj\ -subdir=yes
You can use more than one file specification with the archive
command. For example, to archive the a:\h1.doc
and a:\test.doc files, enter:
dsmc archive a:\h1.doc a:\test.doc
Use the description option to assign a description to the
archive, as follows:
dsmc archive a:\h1.doc -description="chapter 1, first version"
You can use the retrieve command to retrieve files or
directories. Enter the file name you want to retrieve and its
destination. If you do not indicate a destination, the files are
retrieved to their original location. For example, to retrieve the
c:\doc\h1.doc file to its original directory;
enter:
dsmc retrieve c:\doc\h1.doc
To retrieve this file under a new name, enter:
dsmc retrieve c:\doc\h1.doc c:\doc\h2.doc
Use the pick option to display a list of archive copies from
which you can select. If you retrieve a file to a disk that has a
different label than the disk from which the file was archived, use the file
space name (drive label) of the archive disk instead of the drive
letter. For example, if you archived a file from the
a: drive on the diskette workathome, and you are
retrieving it to a diskette labeled extra in the
a: drive, enter:
dsmc retrieve {workathome}\doc\h1.doc a:\doc\h1.doc
To display command line help, enter the following command:
dsmc help
You can use the Web client to perform backup, archive, restore,
and retrieve operations from any machine, or platform that supports a Java
1.1.6-capable browser, such as Netscape Navigator 4.06 or
higher, and Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.01 or higher. Using
the Web client, you can back up and restore your own data, or a TSM
administrator can centralize the backup or restore operations of many TSM
clients. To use it, you can specify the URL of any TSM client machine
that is running the Web client. The Web client is only supported on a
server that is Version 3 or higher.
All backup and restore procedures in this chapter are also supported on the
Web client. The following functions are not supported by the Web
client:
- Estimate
- View Policy Information
- Access Another User
- Searching and Filtering
- User Access List
- Setup Wizard
- Querying and Restoring Backup Sets
To use the Web client, perform the following steps:
- From the TSM GUI, select the Utilities menu> Setup
Wizard item.
- Select the Help me configure the TSM Web Client
checkbox.
- Follow the instructions on the screen to configure and use the TSM Web
client.
If you want to use the Web client with secure socket layer (SSL)
communications, which is supported on Windows 95, and Windows 98, Windows NT
4.0 see the Appendix in Tivoli Storage Manager Installing the Clients,
order number SH26-4102, for more information.
