not got tivoli however I can explain backupm types:


Full Backup: As it says, will save everything selected in the backup configuration ie /*

incremental is a backup wich captures all data that has changed from the last incremental or full backup. ie /* is backed up on Monday, Tuesday data in /opt changes therfor only the files changed will be saved. Tuesday data in /home /var changes - only these files will be backed up.

differential will backup all data from the last full backup - ie monday all backed up, Tuesay /etc /opt change therefor these are backed up. Wednesday /home /data change therefor all files in /home /data are backup up (that have changed of course also the data change from Tusday will be backed up.

This will continue until the next full backup

hope this is what you are looking for

dsmc i "/opt/local/apache/*" -subdir=yes # Incremental backup

The first time when u do an increamental backup is a full backup ...

Read some docs from Ebooks at IBM , I think it is their product after all

Type help once dsmc starts. It will provide loads of help.

dsmc incr "filename"
dsmc incr -subdir=yes "filename"

dsmc query backup "filename"

dsmc query backup -inactive -fromdate=12/1/2003 "/var/adm/lp/*"

dsmc query -inactive "filename"

dsmc restore "filename"

dsmc query mgmtclass

You can also run the dsm gui and I there's also a web client.

Prashanth,
Tivoli dsmc is a client interface that is installed on the clients that backup their data to the TSM (Tivoli Storage Manager).

If you are looking for some help on the client (dsmc commands), i would urge that you review the link below

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/tividd/td/IBMTivoliStorageManagerClient5.2.2.html

This should give you all the details like how to make backups, configure client etc

Let me know if you have any specific questions

regards
Mobeen
