Hi folks, thought I'd give back a little,
we have many directories on our UNIX servers that contain application development
code, some of it is very old of course. And of course we can't just delete it. So I
wanted a quick a dirty way to save it to TSM. I wrote a little script that archives a
directory (and sub dirs) to TSM and leaves a script in the directory to do the
restore, so you don't have to look very hard when you need the files.
Have a look at the script if you think this could help you. You will have to change
the default archive management class. I made one called 'forever' (which is 9999
days). Please test it before you run it on your production servers! Be careful which
input directory you use also, the script runs a 'rm -r $DIRECTORY/*'.
These are the key lines of code:
# archive it
dsmc arch -archmc=$ARCHMC -desc="$DIRECTORY $DATE" ${DIRECTORY}/
# delete it
rm -r ${DIRECTORY}/*
#make a script
echo dsmc retrieve -desc=\"$DIRECTORY $DATE\" ${DIRECTORY}/ >$OUT_FILE
