• Automatic, transparent management of data across a storage hierarchy consisting of
high-performance disk, compressed disk, tape, and TSM server storage
• Migration of user libraries, folders, and spooled files between ASPs
• Archival of database files, database file members, or documents
• Migration of stream files between various storage media
• Transparent access to migrated or archived data from applications
• Automatic movement of data, based on system policies
• Support for tape automation and TSM server storage to provide unattended operations
AS/400 Application Client for TSM allows BRMS to backup or archive low-volume iSeries
AS/400 user data on any TSM server, including another iSeries, AS/400, RS/6000, S/390, or
3466 Network Storage Manager. BRMS can also be used on multiple iSeries servers with
shared inventory support, which allows objects saved from one system onto TSM server
storage to be restored to another iSeries or AS/400e servers managed by the same TSM
server. For information related to Client to TSM, see "IBM Backup Recovery and Media
Services for iSeries (5722-BR1)" on page 711.
Backup Recovery and Media Services for iSeries supports the backup, recovery, and
archiving of integrated file system data. This allows users to specify directories on their PCs
and other systems, as well as on their iSeries server. BRMS can recover from media-related
errors while using tape automation, improving unattended operations. Hot-site recovery
allows the replication of media content information on one or more systems in a BRMS
shared inventory network that enables those systems to act as data recovery centers.
BRMS is structured to allow the addition of functions and features incrementally as business
needs change and grow. There are three options to build a full function BRMS system:
• BRMS Standard
BRMS Standard offers many of the base functions that iSeries users need to implement a
fully automated, single system, backup, recovery, and media management strategy at a
lower cost. The standard product offers an unlimited number of media, using shared tape
devices, automated taped libraries, and TSM servers.
The standard BRMS product backs up a single library or single QSYS.LIB object in
parallel across any number of tape devices. Parallel backup with its easy-to-use interface,
lets you shorten backup windows by using more tape devices. Using parallel backup, with
an automated tape library device, you can save a large library, for example, to all currently
available tape resources.
The standard product does not support archive, dynamic retrieval, automated migration
operations, or shared media.
