Tivoli Storage Manager for Windows Backup-Archive Clients Installation and User's Guide

Restore RSM

Removable Storage Manager (RSM) runs on Windows NT Server, Windows 2000 Server, and Windows.NET Server operating systems. The restore rsm command restores backups of RSM database files on the Tivoli Storage Manager server. Changes are effective after the server is restarted.

Note:
We recommend that you use the restore systemobject command to restore all system objects at the same time.
Note:
Although the backup rsm command backs up the RSM database, the command does not back up the data managed by Windows 2000 Remote Storage Service (RSS). To back up and restore offline data managed by RSS, you must use the Microsoft Backup Utility. Following are some recommendations for working with offline RSS-managed data:

Windows 2000 Servers (Server, Advanced Server, and Datacenter Server) may allow many applications to share a bulk storage device. On these servers, RSM manages data on removable storage media that exists in a media pool. This data is accessible by media application and media management programs and can be shared and traced across applications. Tivoli Storage Manager servers support RSM by creating application pools for backup media. Tivoli Storage Manager clients support RSM recovery by creating a backup of the RSM database when running on a Windows 2000 Server.

Supported Clients

This command is valid for Windows NT Server, Windows 2000 Server, and Windows.NET Server operating systems.
