Tivoli Audio Version 3 Release 7

Backup-archive client

Allows users to maintain backup versions of their files,

which they can restore if the original files are lost or

damaged. Users can also archive files for long-term storage

and retrieve the archived files when necessary. Users or

administrators can register workstations and file servers as

client nodes with an TSM server.

Hierarchical storage management (HSM) client

Provides space management services for workstations on

some platforms. TSM users can free workstation storage by

migrating less frequently used files to server storage. These

migrated files are also called space-managed files. Users can

recall space-managed files automatically simply by accessing

them as they normally would.

Application programming interface (API)

Allows users to enhance existing applications with backup,

archive, restore, and retrieve services. When users install the

TSM API client on their workstations, they can register as

client nodes with an TSM server.
