Quick Start


Verifying Your Installation

You can verify the installation by backing up client data from the default backup-archive client.

Do not select files to back up that exceed your storage pool capacity. A 10MB backup storage pool and a 5MB archive storage pool were allocated at installation.

 

  1. The server must be running before you can use the administrative and backup-archive clients. See Starting and Stopping the Server for the procedure for starting the server.

  2. Start the backup-archive client graphical user interface by entering the following command from a root user:
    +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
    |dsm                                                                             |
    +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

    The backup-archive client created at server installation is named client and has the password client.

  3. To back up several files, perform the steps listed below. These steps illustrate two procedures for backing up from a Version 3.7 client. For more detailed information and other backup procedures, see the appropriate TSM client manual.
