Chapter 4. Backing Up Files and Directories

Use Tivoli Storage Manager to maintain a set of backup versions of your file system or raw logical volumes on your workstation. You can recover these older file versions in the event your current files are lost or damaged. This chapter covers different ways to back up files, how to restore the files, and the difference between backing up and archiving files.

All client backup and restore procedures in this chapter also apply to the Web client, except the following:

See Starting a Web Client Session for information on starting the Web client.

Note:
Files backed up or archived by an OS/390 UNIX backup-archive client can only be restored or retrieved by an OS/390 UNIX backup-archive client.
