IBM Tivoli Storage Manager, Version 7.1

Configuring online-image backup support

If the Tivoli® Storage Manager online image feature is configured, Tivoli Storage Manager performs a snapshot-based image backup, during which the real volume is available to other system applications.

A consistent image of the volume is maintained during the online image backup.

To configure online image backup, perform the following steps:

Select Utilities > Setup Wizard from the Tivoli Storage Manager GUI main window. The Client Configuration Wizard panel appears.
Select Help me configure Online Image Support and click Next. The TSM Online Image Support Wizard panel appears.
Select the VSS Snapshot Provider and then click Next. To disable online image support, select None.
Click Finish button to complete the setup.
Complete each panel in the wizard and click the Next to continue. To return to a previous panel, click the Back. To display help information for a panel, click the help icon.

To set preferences for open file support, use the Include-Exclude tab on the Tivoli Storage Manager Preferences editor. You can set these options for all volumes or for individual volumes using the include.fs option: snapshotproviderfs, presnapshotcmd, postsnapshotcmd.
