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

RISS backup strategy
The RISS backup option is the final line of defense in the integrated RISS backup 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 mirrored pair. To offer further protection, when a RISS system
is replicated, the replicated system also maintains two additional cells that can be used to recover the
origi
nals. The RISS backup system is utilized only in the event that all mirrors and replicas are lost.
After
the RISS backup option is installed, administrators have the choice of which RISS store domains they
want to back up. All store domains can be backed up if desired.
Tivoli Storage M anager
Tivoli Storage Manager 5.3 (TSM) is used to perform backups to external media. You should h ave a
thorough understanding of TS M before attempting backup procedures. This guide explains the most
important TSM concepts involved in RISS management.

Gaining access to the RISS backup server
A RISS system tha t has been configured with the backup option has one central ba ckup server machine
that runs Tivoli Storage Manager software. This backup server is named INTERNAL and is available at IP
10.0.105.1. Use an y of the following methods to access this backup server:
• Use the RISS KVM console to access the backup server directly.
• U
se the RISS PCC machine for remote access:
