IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (ITSM) is a centralized policy-based data backup and recovery software. The software enables a user to backup, restore, archive, and retrieve data from a hierarchy of data storage areas. The storage areas, known as pools, can be a hierarchy of disk, optical, and tape-based media.
A typical TSM installation allows data backups from TSM clients to be spooled to random-access disk storage attached to the TSM server. That data is then migrated at a later time to less-expensive sequential-access storage, such as tape or optical disk.
Along with the basic backup and recovery function, a policy-based hierarchical storage management (HSM) component allows transparent migration from a client device to the ITSM server and vice versa of infrequently accessed data on demand. ITSM also enables LAN-Free and server-free backup in SAN fabric environments.
The Disaster Recovery Manager (DRM), when enabled, mitigates the creation of offsite media and server rebuild procedures in case of disaster.
This product is part of the IBM TotalStorage suite of products.
The current 5.4 release of the TSM Server is supported on AIX, HP-UX, Linux, Solaris, Windows Server, and z/OS however the current 5.4 release of the TSM Client is supported on NetWare, Macintosh, AIX, HP-UX, Linux, z/OS, Solaris, and Windows.
