Backing up migrated files

Use the IBM Storage® Protect backup-archive client to back up or archive migrated files. The skipmigrated option must not be set to yes.

Before you begin

To benefit from full integration, it is best to use the same IBM Storage Protect server for both backup and migration. If you use different IBM Storage Protect servers, there are some limitations. For example, unintended recalls can happen during backup, and you cannot restore stub files.

About this task

The skipmigrated option controls whether migrated files are included in a backup or archive operation. If skipmigrated=yes, migrated files are excluded from the backup or archive operation. If skipmigrated=no (the default), the backup-archive client can process stub files during some operations.

Procedure

Set the skipmigrated option in the backup-archive client options file dsm.opt. Use the preferences editor or directly edit the backup-archive dsm.opt options file. You can also specify the skipmigrated option when you start a command on the command line.
