Configuring servers

To complete configuration tasks for the IBM® Storage Protect server, review the available documentation.

Securing the IBM Storage Protect server
Secure the IBM Storage Protect server and data by controlling access to servers and client nodes, encrypting data, and maintaining secure access levels and passwords.
Replicating client data to another server
Replicating client data from a source server to another server helps to ensure that backed-up client data is available for recovery if the source server is damaged. Replication incrementally copies data from the source server to the target server to provide failover and failback capability.
Replicating client data to multiple servers
You can replicate data from a source replication server to two target replication servers. The process of creating copies of data and sending the copies to multiple servers is called multi-target replication. Replication of data helps to support disaster recovery and data availability if the source replication server becomes unavailable. The replication operation not only copies the data to the target replication server but also communicates the metadata, such as attributes of the source server nodes and file spaces.
Configuring clustered environments
You can configure the IBM Storage Protect server for clustering on AIX®, Linux®, or Windows systems.
