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.

In its simplest form, you can cat myfile.ext | tsmpipe -c [MORE OPTIONS]

Or, where an application supports "dumping" to STDOUT, you can pipe that dump into TSMPIPE. myappdump | tsmpipe -c [OPTIONS]

Getting data back is the reverse tsmpipe -x [MORE OPTIONS] > myfile

Or, back to your application tsmpipe -x [MORE OPTIONS] | myapp

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