Localbackupset

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.

Note: The restore backupset command supports restore of local backup sets on a standalone workstation without using the localbackupset option.
