Storage volume history

Up-to-date storage volume history is vital for recovery of a lost or damaged database.

The storage volume history contains information that Tivoli® Storage Manager needs about the storage volumes to use for database backups. The storage volume history also contains information that you will need to audit storage volumes after a recovery.

Tivoli Storage Manager cannot obtain storage volume history from the database during a restore of the database. Therefore, you should store at least one backup copy of the storage volume history on a disk other than the one on which the database resides.

See the Tivoli Storage Manager information for details about backing up the storage volume history.
