The localbackupset option specifies whether the Tivoli® Storage Manager GUI bypasses initial logon with the Tivoli Storage Manager server to restore a local backup set on a standalone workstation.
If you set the localbackupset option to yes, the GUI does not attempt initial logon with the server. In this case, the GUI only enables the restore functionality.
If you set the localbackupset option to no (the default), the GUI attempts initial logon with the server and enables all GUI functions.
This option is valid for all clients.
Place this option in the dsm.sys file within a server stanza.
Place this option in the dsm.opt file.
This option is not valid with the dsmc command-line client. (Does not apply to Mac OS X)
