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


Mobile Dial-Up Support

Tivoli Storage Manager supports remote network connections to a server. With a remote network connection, mobile users no longer need to dial-in to their company network when a backup is scheduled to run. Tivoli Storage Manager automatically establishes a connection before the scheduled backup occurs. If the connection fails, Tivoli Storage Manager reestablishes the connection before attempting the backup.

To establish a remote network connection you need Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0 or higher on your Windows workstation. Consult your operating system or Microsoft Internet Explorer help menus for current instructions to do the following:

Configure a network or dial-up connection
Options are available for the type of connection you want to establish.

Configure autodial feature
The schedule client connects to the internet and displays a dialup box if the autodial feature is not enabled.

Add and configure a phone book
Available phone numbers are placed in the operating system phone book. Consult your operating system or Microsoft Internet Explorer help menus for instructions on how to work with phone book entries.
