You can back up and restore your system, which includes the data that was collected by Tivoli® Monitoring for Tivoli Storage Manager, the WAREHOUS database, any customized Cognos® reports, and any configuration settings that might be needed.
After Tivoli Monitoring for Tivoli Storage Manager is installed and the agent instance is created and configured, the agent begins collecting data. The data that is collected is not written directly to the database, but is first stored as temporary files on the host system where the agent is running. Over time, the data gets moved to the DB2 database named WAREHOUS, where it is permanently stored and used to create reports by the Tivoli Common Reporting function.
If you modified your configuration, or customized any reports, you might need to back up and restore those modified configurations.
If a system failure occurs that affects your data and configuration modifications, you must first reinstall and configure Tivoli Monitoring for Tivoli Storage Manager, then restore the backed-up data and configurations.
These are the tasks that you must complete to back up your system, ensure that your backups are successful, and then to restore your system.
