Some Internet Service Providers (ISPs) provide Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning, or WebDAV. The WebDAV protocol provides the functionality to create, change, and move documents on a remote server. The WebDAV protocol is useful for authoring the documents which a Web server serves, but can also be used for general Web-based file storage. If your ISP provides WebDAV functionality, Tivoli® Storage Manager FastBack for Workstations can store backups on a Web-based server.
In the Location: field. Enter your WebDAV server location using the following format: https://MyISP.com/MyAcct.
When using WebDAV, Tivoli Storage Manager FastBack for Workstations only supports the Basic Authentication method described in the HTTP 1.0 RFC. Because this authentication method sends the password as clear text over the network, it is also recommended that the Web server be configured to use secure sockets.
