4.1 Backup-archive client code
There are three types of Tivoli Storage Manager client. Here we describe some
of their characteristics.
4.1.1 Backup-archive client
The first type is the native
every Tivoli Storage Manager client node and provides the local interface to back
up and restore operations on that node. The client code includes a command-line
interface (CLI) and a graphical user interface (GUI), either Java-based or native,
depending on the platform. On most platforms both CLI and GUI are provided,
but there are some exceptions. See 4.6, "Client interfaces" on page 168, for
details of platform support. With these interfaces you can, by default, back up
and restore files from that client node.
4.1.2 Web client
The second type is the
and restore operations on a Tivoli Storage Manager client node. This client is
particularly suitable for help desk operations. The help desk administrator can
perform restores on behalf of the end users as required without having to be
physically present at that client, and only needs an Internet browser installed on
their systems. The client who is receiving the remote operations needs to install
the backup-archive client code, including the Web client component. Figure 4-1
on page 99 shows the difference between a traditional restore using the native
backup-archive client and using the Web client.
