System Backup view
Note:
This view is available only if a backup system is configured.
Access this view from the
System Backup
left menu item. This view provides
information about the status of backup servers, signature backups, and data
backups, and direct access to a Tivoli Server Administration web client.
Use the backup feature to back up all archived messages, documents, and
digital signatures to write-once-read-many times (WORM) media, including
optical media. This feature provides:
•
additional level of data reliability for exceptional cases where all smart
cells in a group fail simultaneously
•
disaster recovery of system data
The backup daemon copies data in batches from RISS smart cells once every
hour or so.
Compared to message and document backups, signature backups save space
and are quicker. Use signature backups to meet compliance requirements for
determining if archived documents are corrupt. It does
not
back up messages
or documents. If the system configuration provides signature backup dupli-
cation, a second backup copy of each signature is created. Both backup
copies are produced by primary and duplicate signature backup services.
