Create backup set
Backup sets are created using a Tivoli Storage Manager server command, rather
than via the backup-archive client. The generated backup set can be stored in a
file or on sequential storage. In Example 11-11 we create a backup set of the
client file space /TS onto disk storage, using a FILE device class.
Example 11-11 Create a backup set
generate backupset atlantic BS1 /TS devc=seqf-dc wait=yes

The server automatically creates a file to store the backup set,
/tsm/stg/seqf/43247638.ost. The client can see the backup set created using the
query backup set command, as in Example 11-12.

The point of backup sets is that they can be made to portable media, like tapes or
written to CDs. The media can then be loaded directly at the client for direct
restore. In our case, we are using the backup-archive client on the Tivoli Storage
Manager server itself, and we wrote the backup set to a disk file. Therefore this
file is automatically available for restore, which we will see in the 11.2.1, "UNIX
command-line examples and output" on page 348.
