IBM Backup Recovery and Media Services (BRMS) for the IBM

Eserver iSeries server is the strategic solution to manage

backup, recovery, media, and storage in an iSeries-only

environment. IBM Tivoli Storage Manager server and client products

are the tools that correspond to backup, recovery, media, and

storage management functions in a heterogeneous environment.

IBM offers a unique integrated solution by combining the proven

performance of BRMS on iSeries with the multiplatform capabilities

of IBM Tivoli Storage Manager.

In a multiplatform environment with iSeries servers, you can use the

two products independently of each other. Or you can integrate them

to achieve powerful capabilities to back up and recover

mission-critical data and applications. Based on iSeries V5R2 BRMS

and V5.2 of IBM Tivoli Storage Manager, this IBM Redbook presents:

򐂰 An overview of BRMS and IBM Tivoli Storage Manager

terminology, constructs, and capabilities

򐂰 Examples of getting BRMS and IBM Tivoli Storage Manager

server up and running on your iSeries server, and setting up your

iSeries server as the BRMS Application Client to an IBM Tivoli

Storage Manager server running on the iSeries server

򐂰 Troubleshooting guidance and tips for integrating BRMS and IBM

Tivoli Storage Manager server on the iSeries server

򐂰 iSeries user programs and OS/400 commands to help an iSeries

system operator to manage integrated BRMS and IBM Tivoli

Storage Manager server functions via a single user interface
