Disaster preparation and recovery
Local copies of data do not protect against a local disaster. IBM Tivoli Storage Manager
Extended Edition facilitates the tracking of the additional copies of your active data that IBM
Tivoli Storage Manager creates for safekeeping at an off-site location. This is known as the
Disaster Recovery Manager. IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Extended Edition prepares and
keeps up to date a text file, the
recovery plan, which contains detailed recovery steps and
automated scripts to recover your server. Should a disaster strike and destroy your storage
and computers, this plan and the off-site data copies gets your business back up and running
quickly.
