You can start a TSM GUI session using one of the following methods:
SET PATH=c:\tivoli\tsm\client\ba;%path%: SET BEGINLIBPATH=c:\tivoli\tsm\client\ba SET DSM_CONFIG=c:\tivoli\tsm\client\ba\dsm.opt SET DSM_DIR=c:\tivoli\tsm\client\ba dsm.exe
If you are using an OS/2 window, you must start TSM from the TSM directory or include the directory in the start command unless you update your config.sys file to include the directory in your path.
To run a GUI backup, perform the following steps:
To run a GUI restore, perform the following steps:
To restore a backup set:
To archive directory or drive files you can use search and filter criteria to locate the files that match that criteria. To search or filter files during an archive operation, perform the following steps:
Retrieve a file when you want to return an archive copy from the TSM server to your workstation. To retrieve an archived file:
To display GUI online help, do one of the following:
To end a GUI session, do one of the following:
To start the TSM Scheduler, do one of the following:
SET PATH=c:\tivoli\tsm\client\ba%path% SET BEGINLIBPATH=c:\tivoli\tsm\client\ba SET DSM_CONFIG=c:\tivoli\tsm\client\ba\dsm.opt SET DSM_DIR=c:\tivoli\tsm\client\ba start /min dsmc.exe schedule -password=your_password
To display information about scheduled work for your client node, enter:
dsmc query schedule
To display information about completed work for your client node: Check the dsmsched.log file in the current directory.
To stop the scheduler: Enter q.
To start a command line session, do one of the following:
> dsmc command
> dsmc or dsmc loop
tsm> command
:
tsm> quit
>
dsmc incremental
dsmc incremental c:
dsmc incremental -incrbydate c:\devel
dsmc selective c:\devel\proja.dev
Note: | You can use wildcard characters to back up groups of related files. |
To run a command line restore:
dsmc restore c:\devel\proja.dev
dsmc restore backupset c:\devel\proja.dev -location=file
Note: | You can use wildcard characters to restore groups of files, or entire directories. |
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 the Web client, simply point your Web browser at 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:
To use the Web client, perform the following steps:
If you want to use the Web client with secure socket layer (SSL) communications, see the Appendix in Tivoli Storage Manager Installing the Clients, order number SH26-4102, for more information.
