IBM Tivoli Storage Manager backup driver

The IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) backup driver enables performing volume backups to a TSM server.

The TSM client should be installed and configured on the machine running the cinder-backup service. See the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Backup-Archive Client Installation and User's Guide for details on installing the TSM client.

To enable the IBM TSM backup driver, include the following option in cinder.conf:

backup_driver=cinder.backup.driver.tsm

The following configuration options are available for the TSM backup driver.

Table 7.25. Description of configuration options for backups_tsm
Configuration option=Default value	Description
backup_tsm_compression=True	(BoolOpt) Enable or Disable compression for backups
backup_tsm_password=password	(StrOpt) TSM password for the running username
backup_tsm_volume_prefix=backup	(StrOpt) Volume prefix for the backup id when backing up to TSM

This example shows the default options for the TSM backup driver.

backup_tsm_volume_prefix = backup
