Displaying Backup Processing Status

During a backup, by default Tivoli Storage Manager displays the status of each file it attempts to back up. Tivoli Storage Manager reports the file's size, path, file name, total number of bytes transferred, and whether the backup attempt was successful. Similar statistics are produced by the selective and archive commands. These also display in the dsmsched.log file for scheduled commands.

If you have set the resourceutilization option, Tivoli Storage Manager attempts to improve performance and load balancing by using multiple sessions when it backs up a file space or other set of files.

The Web client and backup-archive client GUI provide a Task List window that displays information about files during processing. When a task completes, a Backup Report window displays processing details. Click the Help button in the Backup Report window for context help.
