The IBM Tivoli Storage Manager backup-archive client helps you protect information on your workstation. Using Tivoli Storage Manager, you can maintain backup versions of your workstation files that you can restore if the original files are damaged or lost. You can also archive workstation files that you do not currently need, or preserve them in their current state, and retrieve them when necessary.
You must have an system administrator ID and password to perform Tivoli Storage Manager tasks.
You can use the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager graphical user interface (GUI) to perform tasks. The main window displays buttons labeled: Backup, Restore, Archive, and Retrieve. To initiate a task, click on the appropriate button.
This chapter provides migration, environment, and installation information for the Tivoli Storage Manager client. After installation, see Configuring IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for required configuration tasks to perform before using Tivoli Storage Manager.
