IBM Tivoli Storage Manager, Version 7.1

Installation requirements for backing up and archiving Tivoli Storage Manager FastBack client data

Before you can back up or archive your FastBack client data, you must install the required software.

You must install the following software:

Tivoli® Storage Manager FastBack V6.1
Tivoli Storage Manager client V6.1.3.x (where x is 1 or higher) or V6.2 or later
Tivoli Storage Manager server V6.1.3 or higher
Tivoli Storage Manager Administration Center V6.1.3
- Required only if you want to use integrated Tivoli Storage Manager FastBack - administration.
  Starting with Tivoli Storage Manager V7.1, the Administration Center component is no longer included in Tivoli Storage Manager distributions. FastBack users who have an Administration Center from a previous server release, can continue to use it to create and modify FastBack schedules. If you do not already have an Administration Center installed, you can download the previously-released version from ftp://public.dhe.ibm.com/storage/tivoli-storage-management/maintenance/admincenter/v6r3/LATEST. If you do not already have an Administration Center installed, you must create and modify FastBack schedules on the Tivoli Storage Manager server. For information about creating schedules on the server, see the Tivoli Storage Manager V7.1 server documentation.

The Tivoli Storage Manager FastBack environment must be running. For information about installing and setting up Tivoli Storage Manager FastBack, see Tivoli Storage Manager FastBack Installation and User's Guide, at: http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/tsmfbinf/v6
