`
`About Brig htStor VM:Bockup
`
`BrightStor VM:Backup is a full-screen data backup and restore system for VM. During a
`backup, Brigh tStor VMzBackup writes data stored on minidisks or in file spaces to tape as
`a safeguard against errors or the destruction of data. The BrighLStor VM:Bacl<up system
`administrator controls what data is backed up, how the data is processed, and how
`Frequently backup jobs are run.
`
`To facilitate an operator’ 5 job, BrightStor VM:Backup:
`
`p Provides screens from which you can submit backup jobs, monitor the status of jobs,
`hold and release jobs, cancel jobs, receive and respond to BrightStor VM:Backup
`messages, and temporarily suspend or end job processing
`
`p Automatically selects the tapes needed for backup jobs and tells you which volumes
`to mount; for improved backup data protection, BrighlStor VM: Backup also allows
`Brigh tStor VM:Tape to manage and select tapes for BrightStor VM: Backup jobs.
`
`Y Allows you to list the tapes required to fulfill a restore request so that you can have
`the volumes on hand before the job starts
`
`Automatically recovers from temporary or correctable tape 1/ 0 errors
`
`Restarts. jobs automatically after permanent tape I K 0 errors
`
`Backs up data to DASDtape and to physical reels and cartridges
`
`YVYVY Allows users to select files, minidisks, and directories to restore from a full-screen
`
`Creates copies of backup tapes for offsite disaster recovery
`
`list, without operator assistance
`
`b Optionally holds restore requests submitted by users until you are ready to mount
`the required tapes
`
`As an operator, your userid is authorized automatically to perform user functions as well
`as operator functions. User authorization allows you to submit requests to BrightStor
`VMzBackup to restore data backed up for your own userid. End user activities include:
`
`I» Restoring the most recently backed—up versions of your files, minidisks, and
`directories
`
`p Specifying selection Criteria to restore earlier backup versions of your files or to
`restore a group of files with similar names
`
`5 Reviewing the status of your restore requests, and canceling a request if you change
`your mind about submitting it

`

`

`> Viewing and responding to BrighlSlor VMzBackup messages, for example, requests
`to detach your minidisk so that data can be restored
`
`p Setting an expertise level according to your familiarity with BrightStor VM:Backup
`restore functions
`
`Refer to the BrigirtStor VM:Backup User’s Guide for a complete description of these
`activities.
`
`Authorizations
`
`You must be authorized as an operator in the Brigh tStor VM:Backup system to perform
`the tasks and use the commands described in this book. If you have Operator
`authorization, you are authorized automatically to perform operator functions and user
`restore functions.
`
`The BrightSlor VMzBacku p system administrator provides your userid with Operator
`authorization and controls the types of messages you receive and to which you can
`respond. The system administrator can authorize you (or any userid) to receive and
`respond to any or all of the following three types of messages:
`
`Message Type Definition
`
`System
`
`Tape
`
`Disk
`
`Error and informalional messages about BrightStor VMzBacku p
`processing
`
`Tape-related requests
`
`Disk mount requests
`
`Any userid authorized to receive a specific type of message receives all messages of that
`lype that are issued. If a reply is required, any aulhorized userid can enter a response. If
`no userids are authorized to receive a certain type of message, those messages are routed
`to the operator console.
`
`If your system uses BrightStor VMzTape, tape mount requests are not displayed on the
`Respond to BrightStor VM:Bac.kup Requests screen. You must 11a ve Tape Operator
`authoriyation in the VMTAPE CONFIG File (on the TAPEOPER configuration file record)
`to receive and respond to tape—related messages.
`
`Contact the BrightStor VM:Backup system administrator if you experience difficulties
`relating to authorizations.

`

`Hardware Requirements
`
`You can access BrightStor VM:Backup through screens or line—m ode comm ands. If you
`ha we a display or fullscreen (3270—type) terminal with a minimum of 24 lines, you can
`access Brigh tStor VMzBackup through both screens and line—m ode commands. If you
`ha we a line—mode terminal, you can access BrightStor VM:Backup through line—m ode
`commands only.
`
`Note:
`
`You cannot use a line—mode terminal to restore files backed up from SFS or
`BFS directories or to restore portions of a minidisk backed up in physical
`format. You must have a full~screen terminal to perform these restore
`functions.
`
`Accessing and Leaving BrightStor VMzBackup
`
`There are two ways to use Brighlfitor VMzflackup: through screens and menus, and
`through line—m ode commands.
`
`To access BrighlStor VMzBat‘kup through screens, from CMS enter vmbackup. BrightStor
`VM:Backup displays the Operator Main Menu.
`
`To exit the BrightStor VM:Backup screens and return to CMS, press PF3 (End) until you
`reach the Opera tor Main Menu, then press PF3 (End) once more.
`
`To access BrighlStor VMzBac‘kup through a line-mode Command, from CMS type
`vmbackup and a space followed by a BrightSlor VMzBackup command, then press
`ENTER.
`
`For more information about using BrightStor VMzBackup screens, refer to Moving
`Through Screens and Menus below. Refer to Using Commands on page 5 for additional
`informalion about using BrighlStor VM:Bacl<up commands.
`
`Note: VMBACKUP is the default name of the BrightStor VMzBackup service virtual
`machine. If your BrighlSLor VM:Backup service virtual machine has a different
`userid, use that name instead.

`

`Moving Through Screens and Menus
`
`You can move through BrightStor VM:Backup screens and menus by typing entries and
`using program function (PF) keys. This section explains how to move through screens.
`
`Typing Entries
`
`To enter information in fields on the screens, begin typing your entries any where in the
`space provided. Use the tab key to move between fields. Follow the instructions
`displayed on the screens.
`
`Using PF Keys
`
`To perform some tasks on the screens, you must use the PF keys instead of entering
`commands or filling in fields. The PF keys available for each screen are listed at the
`bottom of the specific screen.
`
`PF Key Help
`
`To view the PF key help screens, press PFI (Help) from the Operator Main Menu. A
`description of PF key functions follows the explanation of the main menu options. Use
`PF7 (Backward) and PF8 (Forward) to move through the help screens. To return to the
`Operator Main Menu, press PF3 (End).
`
`Help With Screens and Menus

`

`Using Commands
`
`This section explains how to access BrightStor VM:Backup through line—mode
`commands.
`
`Entering CMS and CP Commands From the BrightStor VM:Backup Service Virtual
`Machine
`
`When you enter CMS and CP commands on the BrightSlor VMzBackup console, include
`the prefix ems or #cp, respectively. These prefixes distinguish these commands from
`BrighlStor VM:Bacl<up commands. For example, to run BrighlStor VM:Bacl<up in
`disconnected mode, enter:
`
`#cp disc
`
`The #cp prefix teth BrightStor VMzBackup to execute the CP DISCON N command. Lt you
`do not enter #cp, BrightStor VMzBackup interprets disc as the BrightStor VMzBackup
`DISCARD command.
`
`Entering BrighiSior VM:Backup Commands From CMS
`
`To enter BrightStor VM:Bacl<up commands from CMS, type the name of the BrighlStor
`VM:Backup service virtual machine, a space, and the command, then press ENTER. For
`example, to issue the SUSPEND command from CMS, enter:
`
`vmbackup suspend
`
