[gpfsug-discuss] backup and disaster recovery solutions

[Jaime Pinto]

Hi Mark

Personally I'm aware of the HSM features.

However I was specifically referring to TSM Backup restore. I was told  
the new GUI for unprivileged users looks identical to what root would  
see, but unprivileged users would only be able to see material for  
which they have read permissions, and restore only to paths they have  
write permissions. The GUI is supposed to be a difference platform  
then the java/WebSphere like we have seen in the past to manage TSM.  
I'm looking forward to it as well.
