With Tivoli® Storage Manager Version 7.1.1, you can use node replication processing to recover damaged files. When this feature is enabled, the system detects any damaged files on a source replication server and replaces them with undamaged files from a target replication server.
You can enable this feature for specific client nodes. When you use the REGISTER NODE command to define a node, or the UPDATE NODE command to update a node, you can specify whether data from damaged files is recovered automatically during the replication process.
In addition to configuring nodes for file recovery, you can override the file recovery setting that is specified for a node. By specifying a parameter on the REPLICATE NODE command for a single replication instance, you can start a process that replicates the node and recovers damaged files. Alternatively, you can start a replication process for the sole purpose of recovering damaged files.
To use this feature, you must install Tivoli Storage Manager V7.1.1 on the source and target replication servers, and ensure that file recovery is enabled.
