ADSM can use removable media devices such as tape and optical drives for storing backed-up, archived, and space-managed client data, for storing backups of its database, and for exporting data. The devices must be configured for use by ADSM.
See the following sections:
In this chapter, most examples illustrate how to perform tasks by using the ADSM command line interface. For information about the ADSM commands, see ADSM Administrator's Reference, or issue the HELP command from the command line of an ADSM administrative client.
All of the ADSM commands can be performed from the administrative client web interface. A Version 3 administrative client GUI is also available for the Windows NT and Windows 95 operating systems. For more information about using the administrative interfaces, see ADSM Quick Start. You can find detailed help for using the graphical user interfaces in the online help facilities.
