Administrator's Guide


Moving Backup Sets to Other Servers


Task Required Privilege Class
Define a backup set If the REQSYSAUTHOUTFILE server option is set to YES, system privilege is required. If the REQSYSAUTHOUTFILE server option is set to NO, system or restricted policy over the domain to which the node is assigned is required.

You can use the DEFINE BACKUPSET command to redefine a backup set that was accidently deleted on a server. In addition, you can also use the DEFINE BACKUPSET command to define a backup set that was previously generated on one server and make it available to another server. Any client backup set created on one server can be defined to another server as long as the servers share a common device type.

More importantly, if you have multiple servers connecting to different clients, the DEFINE BACKUPSET command makes it possible for you to take a previously generated backup set and make it available to other servers. TSM's aim is to allow the user more flexibility in moving backup sets to different servers, thus allowing the user the ability to restore their data from a server other than the one on which the backup set was created.
