Disaster Recovery

The recovery plan consists of some simple instructions and some supporting files.
These files can always be found on the server where the collector is installed. If the collector is installed in the "c:\program files\jamodat\tsmmgr_server" directory and your TSM server is called "production", then you will find all recovery files in the directory "c:\program files\jamodat\tsmmgr_server\production\vault"

These files are ESSENTIAL to your disaster recovery, so you may want to keep a copy elsewhere. It could be a printed copy, but this is not practical as it takes quite a few pages and will be generated daily.

We recommend using the e-mail function. You receive a daily e-mail with the basic instructions as text and the needed support files as attachments. You should send this e-mail to somewhere outside your own organization. Sending it to your own mail server that is located inside your own computing center is a bad idea.

Below you see a sample of how the instructions for a windows TSM server looks :
