You can restore data froma backup set from the <strong>Tivoli</strong> <strong>Storage</strong> <strong>Manager</strong> server, or when the backup set islocally available as a file or on a tape device.You can restore backup sets from the following locations:v From the <strong>Tivoli</strong> <strong>Storage</strong> <strong>Manager</strong> serverv From portable media on a device attached to your client workstationv From a backup set file on your client workstation<strong>Backup</strong> sets can provide you with instant archive <strong>and</strong> rapid recovery capability asdescribed in the following list.Instant archiveThis capability allows an administrator to create an archive collection frombackup versions already stored on the server.Rapid recovery with local backup setsTypically, restores are per<strong>for</strong>med from normal file backups that are storedon the <strong>Tivoli</strong> <strong>Storage</strong> <strong>Manager</strong> server outside of backup sets. This restoreapproach gives you the ability to restore the most recent backup version ofevery file. It is possible that a backup set does not contain the most recentbackup version of your files.In some cases restoring data from a backup set can be a better option thanrestoring data from normal backup files on the <strong>Tivoli</strong> <strong>Storage</strong> <strong>Manager</strong>server. Restoring from a backup set can be a better option <strong>for</strong> the followingreasons:v A backup set restore can provide <strong>for</strong> a faster recovery because all of therequired files <strong>for</strong> restore are contained together within a smaller numberof storage volumes.v A backup set provides a point-in-time collection of files. You can restoreto a point in time rather than restoring what is currently available froma normal file-level restore from the server.v You can per<strong>for</strong>m an ASR restore using a backup set volume.Restoring a backup set from the <strong>Tivoli</strong> <strong>Storage</strong> <strong>Manager</strong>server provides alarger set of restore options than restoring from a local backup set.However, restoring from a local backup set can be preferable in somecases:172 <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
