Tivoli Storage Manager server updates
New features and other changes are available in the Tivoli® Storage Manager Version 7.1.7 server.
- Back up data to Amazon Web Services, a cloud-based object storage system
With Tivoli Storage Manager Version 7.1.7, you can configure cloud-container storage pools to use Amazon Web Services (AWS), a cloud-based object storage system, to back up data. - Optimize data movement to the cloud
With Tivoli Storage Manager Version 7.1.7, you can set up local storage for data that is later moved to the cloud. By assigning one or more local storage directories to a cloud-container storage pool, you can enhance the performance of backup operations to the cloud. - Protect directory-container storage pools by using tape volumes
With Tivoli Storage Manager Version 7.1.7, you can protect directory-container storage pools by copying the data to container-copy storage pools, where the data is stored on tape volumes. - Authenticate Tivoli Storage Manager users by using an Active Directory database
Tivoli Storage Manager Version 7.1.7 simplifies the process of authenticating user IDs by using an Active Directory database. In contrast to previous releases, users and administrators can authenticate by using the same user IDs that they use to log on to an Active Directory server.
