Chapter 4. Using Removable Media Devices with Tivoli Storage Manager

TSM can use removable media devices such as tape and optical drives for storing backed-up, archived, and space-managed client data, for storing backups of its database, and for exporting data. The devices must be configured for use by TSM.

In this chapter, most examples illustrate how to perform tasks by using the TSM command line interface. For information about the TSM commands, see Administrator's Reference, or issue the HELP command from the command line of a TSM administrative client.

All of the TSM commands can be performed from the administrative Web interface. For more information about using the administrative interface, see Quick Start.
