If the database or the recovery log is unusable, the entire server is unavailable. If a database is lost and cannot be recovered, the backup, archive, and space-managed data for that server is lost. If a storage pool volume is lost and cannot be recovered, the data on the volume is also lost.
With Tivoli Storage Manager you can define schedules so that the database and storage pools are backed up regularly. If you should lose your database or storage pool volumes, you can use offline utilities provided by Tivoli Storage Manager to restore your server and data.
See the Administrator's Guide for details.
