Removable Storage Manager (RSM) service runs on Windows NT Server, Windows 2000 Server, and Windows.NET Server operating systems. The backup rsm command backs up the RSM database. The backup copy is placed in \windows\system32\ntmsdata\export. Then the command performs a selective backup of the copy to the server. The RSM server continues to run during the backup process.
Windows 2000 Servers (Server, Advanced Server and Datacenter Server) and Windows.NET 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; the data 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.
If you want to back up RSM, ensure that the RSM service is set to automatic; setting the RSM service to manual may cause the service to stop after a period of activity and will not be available for back up.
