Hierarchical Storage Management or HSM

Hierarchical Storage Management (HSM) migrates files from your
local file system to storage, and then recalls the files as needed.

Migrating files to a distributed storage device takes advantage of

lower-cost storage resources that are available in your network
environment for infrequently used files, thus allowing more free
space on your local system.

IBM Tivoli Storage Manager supports:

• IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for Space Management (for UNIX)
• IBM Tivoli Storage Manager HSM for Windows

TSM Clients, with the

Storage Agent installed

LAN-free backups and restores use storage area networks (SANs) for data
movement between clients and the server, decreasing the network traffic
on the local area network (LAN). Shared storage resources (disk, tape) are
accessible to both the client and the server over the SAN.
