Tivoli Storage Manager will automatically be scheduled to perform a backup every night without user intervention.
However, at times, it may be desirable to perform a manual backup.
- Open the Tivoli Storage Manager "Backup-Archive GUI"
- Click the Backup Button
- Place a Check mark next to each item you wish to backup.
Please note that items in the exclude list will not be visible in the backup window.
A default exclude list is pushed down from the server. If a needed file or directory is not
visible, please visit our include/exclude documentation.
Directories are available only in the left window pane.
These check marks will flow through all subdirectories, marking both files and directories.
Files are available only in the right window pane.
Check marks placed in the right window pane will not flow to any other files or directories.
- Once all the requested files have been marked, you may select the "Estimate" button to see the
number of items selected and the total size. Do not expect the time estimate to be accurate.
- When ready, click the "Backup" button to begin the backup of the selected files.
- A progress meter is shown as each file is transferred. This allows you to verify that data is being sent.
Further information can be displayed by clicking the "Report" button. The resulting
"Detailed Report" can be closed using the X in the top right corner.
- After the backup has completed (or been canceled), the detailed report will be displayed.
Close the detailed report to return to initial screen.
