# About
|
||||
TSMPIPE is a Tivoli Storage Manager client, that enables you to take data from STDIN and store that in TSM as a BACKUP or ARCHIVE object.
|
||||
TSMPIPE is a Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) or now known as Spectrum Protect client, that enables you to take data from STDIN and store that in TSM as a BACKUP or ARCHIVE object.
|
||||
By using this client, you dont need to do a dump to disk process, followed by using the Spectrum Protect Backup Archive Client. (So no more consuming disk space with old dumps!)
|
||||
|
||||
Restoring data, is the reverse step, restoring direclty back to the application from Spectrum Protect.
|
||||
|
||||
# Using
|
||||
In its simplest form, you can
|
||||
```cat myfile.ext | tsmpipe -c [MORE OPTIONS]```

|
||||
Or, back to your application
|
||||
```tsmpipe -x [MORE OPTIONS] | myapp```
|
||||
|
||||
This client can also calculate a digest while backuping up data (like MD5, SHA1, etc) - so that you can verify that the dump out of the application matches what goes into
|
||||
Spectrum Protect. For example:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
myappdump > file
|
||||
md5sum file
|
||||
cat file | tsmpipe -cBs /example/ -f file -m md5
|
||||
tsmpipe -xBs /example/ -f file > file2
|
||||
md5sum file2
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The MD5 calculation should match in all cases - including the MD5 printed by tsmpipe. See the build test script for more details.

# Help

||||
For help, use tsmpipe -h
|
||||
To test that you can connect to TSM, use tsmpipe -i
