Tivoli Storage Manager for Windows Backup-Archive Clients Installation and User's Guide
Storage management policies are rules your administrator defines in order
to manage your backups and archives on the server. You can associate
(or bind) your data to these policies; then when the data is
backed up or archived, it is managed according to policy criteria.
Policy criteria include a policy domain, a policy set, a copy group, and a
management class.
Policies determine:
- Whether a file is eligible for backup or archive services.
- How many backup versions to keep.
- How long to keep inactive backup versions and archive copies.
- Where to place the copies in storage.
This chapter explains:
- Policy criteria (policy domains, policy sets, copy groups, and management
classes).
- How to display policies.
- How Tivoli Storage Manager associates your data with policies.
