Basic file backup and restore
You can verify that the IBM® Spectrum Protect (formerly Tivoli® Storage Manager) connector is configured properly with a simple backup and restore process for a file.
To back up a single file, use the dsmc archive file command.
The file value specifies the path name of a file on the Netezza Performance Server system. As a result of the command, the file is saved in the configured storage pool for the Netezza Performance Server client. For the test, you can rename the test file to ensure that the subsequent retrieval test works.
To restore the single file, use the dsmc retrieve file command:
As a result of the command, the file is retrieved from the storage pool archive and saved on the Netezza Performance Server system. For complete descriptions of the Tivoli Storage Manager commands, arguments, and operations, see the Tivoli Storage Manager documentation.
