IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Extended Edition, Version 7.1

Storing the disaster recovery plan locally

When you create a recovery plan file but do not specify a device class, the file is stored locally in a file system. If you store the file locally, you can specify a storage location.

About this task

AIX operating systems HP-UX operating systems Linux operating systems Oracle Solaris operating systems For example, to store the recovery plan file locally in the /u/server/recoveryplans/ directory, enter:
prepare planprefix=/u/server/recoveryplans/
Windows operating systems For example, to store the recovery plan file locally in the c:\Program Files\Tivoli\TSM\server2\recplans\ directory, enter:
prepare planprefix=c:\Program Files\Tivoli\TSM\server2\recplans\

What to do next

Recovery plan files that are stored locally are not automatically expired. You should periodically delete down-level recovery plan files manually. DRM appends to the file name the date and time (yyyymmdd.hhmmss). For example:

AIX operating systems HP-UX operating systems Linux operating systems Oracle Solaris operating systems
/u/server/recoveryplans/20000925.120532
Windows operating systems
c:\Program Files\Tivoli\TSM\server2\recplans\20000925.120532
