Back up data directly from IBM Spectrum Protect Plus to IBM Spectrum Protect

With the Open Snap Store Manager (OSSM) technology preview in IBM Spectrum Protect 8.1.15, you can back up data directly from IBM Spectrum Protect Plus to IBM Spectrum Protect by using the OSSM component. The OSSM component acts as a gateway between IBM Spectrum Protect Plus and IBM Spectrum Protect.

To start the direct data backup operations from IBM Spectrum Protect Plus, you must install and configure the OSSM component on the same system where the IBM Spectrum Protect server is installed. This feature is provided as a technology preview only. Do not use it with production data. For more information about the OSSM technology preview, see technote 6587989.
