Use the backup fastback command to back up Tivoli® Storage Manager FastBack volumes specified by the fbpolicyname, fbclientname and fbvolumename options for long-term retention.
Before using this command, configure the client to back up and archive Tivoli Storage Manager FastBack data. Also, before you issue this command, at least one snapshot should exist in the Tivoli Storage Manager FastBack repository for the Tivoli Storage Manager FastBack policy being archived or backed up.
If a policy specification contains both Windows and Linux FastBack clients, only the Windows volumes will be backed up or archived to Tivoli Storage Manager by the Windows Tivoli Storage Manager client.
If a policy specification contains both Windows and Linux FastBack clients, only the Linux volumes will be backed up or archived to Tivoli Storage Manager by the Linux Tivoli Storage Manager client.
Tivoli Storage Manager FastBack options are supported for the incremental backup of the latest snapshots, depending on the option specified:
This command is valid for Linux x86_64 clients that are configured as Tivoli Storage Manager FastBack dedicated proxies.
This command is valid for all Windows clients that are configured as Tivoli Storage Manager FastBack dedicated proxies. This command is also valid for Windows clients that are installed on a Tivoli Storage Manager FastBack server workstation, or a Tivoli Storage Manager FastBack Disaster Recovery (DR) Hub.
