<strong>Tivoli</strong> <strong>Storage</strong> <strong>Manager</strong> can restore your home directory if you are not logged in.This means that you cannot restore your own home directory. Your homedirectories can be restored by the system administrator.Create a second system administrator account so that the primary systemadministrator account can be restored.Mac OS X Time Machine backup diskTime Machine is the backup application available with Mac OS X 10.5.<strong>Tivoli</strong> <strong>Storage</strong> <strong>Manager</strong> can be used at the same time as Mac OS X Time Machine.However, due to the unique nature of how the Mac OS X Time Machine backs updata, you should consider the following items be<strong>for</strong>e using <strong>Tivoli</strong> <strong>Storage</strong> <strong>Manager</strong>to back up the Mac OS X Time Machine data.vvvThe Mac OS X Time Machine backup disk makes extensive use of both file <strong>and</strong>directory hard links to minimize disk usage.For example, if the disk backed up with the Mac OS X Time Machine is 5 GB,the first backup copies all 5 GB of data to the Mac OS X Time Machine backupdisk.Subsequent backups only copy the files that have changed since the previousbackup. All files <strong>and</strong> directories that have not changed will be hard linked withthe version copied over during the previous backup.The Finder shows each backup as 5 GB, <strong>for</strong> a total size of 10 GB. However,because of the use of hard links, the total disk usage will only be slightly largerthan 5 GB.Due to how <strong>Tivoli</strong> <strong>Storage</strong> <strong>Manager</strong> h<strong>and</strong>les hard linked data, it backs up allhard linked objects that are not already on the <strong>Tivoli</strong> <strong>Storage</strong> <strong>Manager</strong> Server.For example, 10 GB of data would be sent to the <strong>Tivoli</strong> <strong>Storage</strong> <strong>Manager</strong> server.When files are restored that are hard linked, <strong>Tivoli</strong> <strong>Storage</strong> <strong>Manager</strong> recreatesthe original hard link. This can only be done if all files that are hard linked arerestored at the same time. This is not practical <strong>for</strong> a large Mac OS X TimeMachine backup disk.When the Mac OS X Time Machine copies files to the backup disk, ACLs areadded to the files to protect them from deletion.<strong>Tivoli</strong> <strong>Storage</strong> <strong>Manager</strong> can back up <strong>and</strong> restore files with ACLs. However, anyfiles that are restored would still have these restrictive ACLs in place.Tip: Due to how <strong>Tivoli</strong> <strong>Storage</strong> <strong>Manager</strong> h<strong>and</strong>les the Mac OS X Time Machine backup data, exclude the Time Machine back up data. All Time Machine data is in adirectory named <strong>Backup</strong>s.backupdb.118 <strong>IBM</strong> <strong>Tivoli</strong> <strong>Storage</strong> <strong>Manager</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>UNIX</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Linux</strong> <strong>Backup</strong>-<strong>Archive</strong> Clients Version 6.1: Installation <strong>and</strong> User’s Guide
