Register node node1 passw0rd replstate=enabled
When running a backup of a client which has journaling enabled, which option for a manual backup using the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager GUI performs a normal incremental backup without using the journal?
Incremental (without journal)
Which command grants access to another node from the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Server administrative command line?
grant proxy node
Which IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Server option specifies the frequency in hours between automatic inventory expiration?
EXPINTERVAL
An IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) administrator defines a client schedule as: Define schedule standard test1 action=incremental starttime=12:00:00 period=1 perunits=hour dur=30 duru=minutes. What do the period parameters accomplish?
Schedule test1 is scheduled to run every hour beginning at 12:00:00
Which parameter in a copy group specifies the number of days to retain a backup version after that version becomes inactive?
RETEXTRA
Where are the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Versioning policies stored?
Backup copy group
What is the difference between random disk and sequential file storage pools?
Random disk storage pools use the predefined deviceclass DISK.
How is migration of data in the storage pool hierarchy initiated?
Migration will start if the HIGHMIG Threshold in the storage pool is reached.
All client data has been backed up to the primary pools. What is the recommended flow of data within the storage hierarchy?
The storage pool data is backed up and then migrated and reclaimed.
What is a common name for backup sets when IBM Tivoli Storage Manager V6.3 enables the creation of a complete set of client files on the server system?
Instant Archive
Which options of dsmc restore allows the user to select the active and inactive backup versions of files that can be restored?
-pick -inactive
An IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) administrator wants to register a node on a source replication server. To do this the administrator must define NODE1 to a source replication server, specify a replication rule for the backup data that belongs to NODE1 so that active backup data is replicated with a high priority, and enable replication for the node. Which command completes this task?
Register node node1 bkrep1ruledefault=active_data_high_priority replstate=enabled
Which kind of software component is the storage agent?
An IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Server without the database and log
Which command starts server deduplication?
Identify duplicates
What are two benefits of an adaptive subfile backup? (Choose two.)
Limited connection time
Reduced bandwidth requirements
An IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) administrator runs a disaster recovery (DR) test. At the DR facility, the administrator needs to restore the TSM database. In which stanza of the DR plan file is the file or tape name for the database backup located?
VOLUME.HISTORY.FILE
An IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) administrator wants to define a client schedule called CLIENTS for all nodes in the BACKUP domain to begin at 6:00 PM. Which command defines the schedule?
Define schedule BACKUP CLIENTS t=c startt=18:00
During IBM Tivoli Storage Manager V6.3 (TSM) node replication, what happens to client node data that is deleted from the source replication server?
It is deleted from the target replication server.
What must be running in order to deploy client updates automatically?
The client scheduler
What kind of processing will be done during reclamation?
The active and inactive files are copied to another volume.
Which product performs online backups of the Microsoft Exchange Server application?
IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for Mail
What should be considered when using the Disable No Query Restore Method in the Restore Options?
The user cannot restart the restore.
IBM Tivoli Storage Manager deduplication is supported on which two resources? (Choose two.)
Client
Sequential access disk pool
A client node's file is bound to a management class that has an archive retention set to one year. The file on that client is archived once a month for one year. At the end of one year how many copies of the archived file exist in IBM Tivoli Storage Manager?
12
A customer has to follow the service level agreements and wants to be sure that the files are backed up. How can the results of the rules be displayed which show the files that are selected for backup?
Utility > Preview Include Exclude
What is a benefit of using LAN-free data transfer?
The data path completely bypasses the LAN and the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Server.
What is the first step before running the Processor Value Unit (PVU) estimator?
Ensure the latest IBM PVU table is available
There have been a lot of changes on the servers and the customer wants to be sure that all data has been backed up. The events show that the schedules have been run. What information could be checked to ensure the operation completed successfully?
Use the query event command
What are two purposes of a default management class? (Choose two.)
to manage files that are not bound to a specific management class, as defined by the INCLUDE option in the include-exclude list
to manage existing backup versions when an administrator deletes a management class or a backup copy group from the server
A server has a damaged disk drive. The application on the servers needs data. There is space on the remaining drives. The helpdesk operator is asked to restore the files to a different directory. How can the helpdesk operator use the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) Web client to perform the restore?
WEB GUI > restore > select files > start restore > select target location > restore
A backup set can be restored from which two locations? (Choose two.)
the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Server
a backup set file or tape on the client workstation
If a Windows systems has been configured for journaling to support journal-based backups, which IBM Tivoli Storage Manager backup command manually initiates a journal-based backup?
dsmc i
What would be the best way to back up a server with a 1 TB database to an IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Server configured with an IBM tape library?
LAN-free
A multi-session restore works in conjunction with which type of restore?
No-Query Restore
Which process removes duplicate data from a deduplicated storage pool?
Reclamation
Which parameter determines the retention of a backed up file that is no longer associated with a backup copy group?
backretention
The customer tells the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) administrator that a Windows file server has to be upgraded and therefore is put into maintenance. The manager wants to have the data immediately available for restore in the event of problems. What is one of the actions of the TSM administrator?
copy activedata
Which protocol can be used to back up network attached storage file systems efficiently with IBM Tivoli Storage Manager V6.3?
Network Data Management Protocol (NDMP)
What is the maximum value for retain version that an archive function can store?
no limit
Which command allows one node to restore another node's data?
Grant proxynode
What is a special characteristic of a sequential access storage pool on disk?
It can be used for data deduplication.
A system administrator is asked to restore a deleted file. The user knows the name of the file and they believe the file was deleted on January 3. Which option can the administrator use to restore the file?
Point-in-time Restore
Which two statements are true about a point-in-time restore? (Choose two.)
Point-in-time restores can be performed for image backups and the system state data for Windows.
IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) restores file versions from the most recent backup before the specified point-in-time date.
Which command correlates clients in a domain to a schedule?

Expiration is a prerequisite for reclamation.
An IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) Server is configured to run daily incremental backups and bi- monthly archive, keeping the incremental backups for three months and keeping the archive for one year. After running for six months the system administrator needs to recover a folder from five months ago. Which recovery option will they need to use?
