Quick Start
The following changes have been made for this edition:
- Creation of portable backup sets for clients
- The server can create portable backup sets for clients. The
function consolidates a client's active backup files onto portable media
that may be directly readable by the client's system for restore
operations.
- Logical volume backup for clients
- Backup-archive clients can now back up logical volumes to the Tivoli
Storage Manager server.
- Performance enhancements
- Performance enhancements include the following:
- Automatic tuning of selected server options
- Selected server options can be tuned automatically by the server.
- Database page shadowing
- Database page shadowing mirrors every write to a database page. In
this way the server can recover pages that have been partially written to
should an outage occur that affects both mirrored volumes.
- Database snapshot
- You now have the choice a making a database snapshot, which is a full
database backup to media that can be taken off-site. The database
snapshot does not interrupt any database backup series and cannot have
incremental database backups associated with it.
- Device support
- Enhancements to device support include:
- Control of tape drive cleaning
- Bulk tape check-in and check-out
- Removable media device type
- Proxy Web services
- Tivoli Storage Manager provides a web proxy that you can install on a
separate web server machine. Using the web proxy reduces the requests
that are made through the administrative web interface. See Quick
Start for details.
- Password expiration controls
- You can reset the password expiration period for all or selected
users.
- Licensing changes
- Some features that formerly required the purchase of licenses are now part
of the base Tivoli Storage Manager product.
