+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`
