The optional IAP backup system is the final line of defense in the integrated IAP data-protection strategy.
The IAP backup sys tem uses Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) to create backups of IAP data.
This chapter describes the processes involved in accessing the IAP backup server, configuring TSM, and
managing smart cells, and contains detailed procedures for maintaining and labeling backup files and
media. It includes the following topics:

IAP backup strategy
The IAP backup option is the final line of defense in the integrated IAP ba ckup strategy. The first line of
defense is that each smar t cell group contains two mirrored smart cells. If either of these cells fails, then
the survivor can be cloned to recover the m irrored pair. To offer further protection, when a IAP system
is replicated, the replicated system also maintains two additional cells that can be used to recover the
origi
nals. The IAP backup system is utilized only in the event that all mirrors and replicas a re lost.
After
the IAP backup option is installed, administrators have the choice of which IAP store domains they
want to back up. All store domains can be backed up if desired.
Tivoli Storage Manager
Tivoli Storage Manager 5.5 (TSM) is used to perform backups to external media. You should have a
thorough understanding of TSM before attempting backup procedures. This guide explains the most
important TSM concepts involved in IAP manag em ent.
For more details about TSM, see h

provided later in this chapter also provide a ccess to online HTML and PDF versions of the Tivoli Storage
Manager Installation and Administrator’s Guide and the Administrator’s Reference.
Gaining access to the IAP backup server
A IAP system that has been configured with the backup option has one central backup ser ver machine
that runs Tivoli Storage Manager software. This backup server is named INTERNAL and is available at IP
10.0.105.1. Use any of the following methods to access this backup server:
• Use the IAP KVM console to access the backup server directly.
• U
se the IAP PCC machine for remote access:
