Tivoli Storage Manager for Windows Backup-Archive Clients Installation and User's Guide
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:
- Restore the RSM database before using Microsoft Backup Utility to restore
the offline data managed by RSS.
- Retrieve all offline data from RSS via the Microsoft Backup Utility before
using the Tivoli Storage Manager client.
- Due to a Windows 2000 issue, you must reboot the Windows 2000 Server to
complete the restore of the RSM database.
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.
