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
What is the difference between random disk and sequential file storage pools?
Random disk storage pools use the predefined deviceclass DISK.
Where are the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Versioning policies stored?
Backup copy group
Which product performs online backups of the Microsoft Exchange Server application?
IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for Mail
A customer has a large Windows server environment. The incremental backup is a problem. The backup window stays within acceptable limits. However the policy has changed this year and more versions need to be kept because of business reasons. What should the customer do to reduce the amount of data to handle in case of a disaster?
The customer should back up to disk and copy the data to an active-data pool. Bring the tapes of the active data pool to the recovery site.
The retrieve command is used for obtaining copies of which type of files/folders?
Archived packages
A file is archived to IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) for one year. It is then immediately deleted from the source server. What happens to the archive data for this file in TSM?
It is kept in TSM for one year, then it expires.
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
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?
Retrieve
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 logs should be checked first when a schedule has failed? (Choose two.)
Error log on the client
Schedule log on the client
What is a benefit when using reclamation?
To free up unused space on sequential volumes
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
What is a special characteristic of a sequential access storage pool on disk?
It can be used for data deduplication.
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
Which command allows one node to restore another node's data?
Grant proxynode
What are two advantages of the IBM Tivoli data protection products? (Choose two.)
The application is backed up in a consistent state.
Backups can be done online without interrupting the application.

Define schedule BACKUP CLIENTS t=c startt=18:00
How does a logical volume backup appear to the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Server?
As a single object
