A

ACSLS. Automated Cartridge System Library Software.

application program interface (API). A set of functions that applications running on a client platform can call to store, query, and retrieve objects from Tivoli Storage Manager storage.

application client. One of the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager data protection programs installed on a system to protect an application. The IBM Tivoli Storage Manager server provides backup services to an application client.

archive. To copy one or more files to a storage pool for long-term storage. Archived files can include descriptive information and can be retrieved by archive date, by file name, or by description. Contrast with retrieve.

Automated Cartridge System Library Software (ACSLS). A library-enablement application from StorageTek. ACSLS functions as the central service provider for library operations.

automatic detection. A Tivoli Storage Manager feature that detects, reports, and updates the serial number of a drive or library in the database when the path from the local Tivoli Storage Manager server is defined.

B

back up. To copy information to another location to ensure against loss of data. In IBM Tivoli Storage Manager, you can back up user files, the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager database, and storage pools. Contrast with restore.

backup-archive client. A program that runs on a workstation or file server and provides a means for users to back up, archive, restore, and retrieve files.

C

client. A program running on a PC, workstation, file server, LAN server, or mainframe that requests services of another program, called the server. The following types of clients can obtain services from an IBM Tivoli Storage Manager server: administrative client, application client, API client, backup-archive client, and HSM client (also known as space manager client).

client node. A file server or workstation on which the backup-archive client program has been installed, and which has been registered to the server.

client options file. A file that a client can change, containing a set of processing options that identify the server, communication method, and options for backup, archive, hierarchical storage management, and scheduling. Also referred to as the dsm.opt file.

copy group. A policy object whose attributes control how backup versions or archive copies are generated, where backup versions or archive copies are initially located, and when backup versions or archive copies expire. A copy group belongs to a management class.

D

data manager server. A Tivoli Storage Manager server that collects metadata information for client inventory and manages transactions for the storage agent over the LAN. The data manager server informs the storage agent with applicable library attributes and the target volume identifier.
