IBM® Tivoli® Storage Manager policies
govern the backup and restore, archive and retrieve, and client migration
and recall client operations.
Backup and restore
Backup-archive clients can back up and restore files and
directories. Backup-archive clients on UNIX, Linux, and Windows systems can also back up and restore
logical volumes.
Archive and retrieve
To preserve files for later use or for records retention, a user
with a backup-archive client can archive files, subdirectories, and directories
on media controlled by the server. When users archive files, they can choose
to have the backup-archive client erase the original files from their workstation
after the client archives the files.
Client migration and recall
With aTivoli Storage
Manager HSM
product, a user can migrate files from workstation storage to server
storage and recall those files as needed.
