With the ever increasing reliance on business-critical data, companies are taking steps to not only back up their data, but to ensure it's recoverability in the event of disaster. This three-day course on Disaster Recovery Manager (DRM), a feature of IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Extended Edition, will teach TSM admnistrators how to create and use the Disaster Recovery Plan file to help them recover their TSM server and their client data after a disaster or outage. The hands-on labs include exercises on how to back up the necessary server files, the TSM database, and storage pools for off-site storage. You will create a customized Disaster Recovery Plan file which they will then use as they restore their IBM Tivoli Storage Manager server and client data, at the client level and at the storage pool level. You will also use server-to-server communications to back up the Disaster Recovery Plan file to remote virtual volumes for off-site electronic vaulting and learn the essentials of Disaster Recovery media management. Lecture will also cover the possibilities available for Bare Machine Recovery.
