Using the Web Client to Archive Data

You can use Tivoli Storage Manager to archive specific files, a group of files with similar names, or entire directories. You can also assign a unique description for each group of files you archive (archive package).

  2. Expand the directory tree by clicking on the + sign. Click the selection boxes next to the files or directories you want to archive.
  3. Enter a description, accept the default description, or select an existing description for your archive package in the Description pull down box.
  4. To modify specific archive options, click the Override Archive Options button located to the right of the Estimate button. Any options you change are effective during the current session only. To estimate the transfer time for your archive selections click the Estimate button.
  5. Click the Archive button. The Archive Status window displays the progress of the archive.
