The Tivoli® Storage
Manager database
contains information that is needed for server operations and information
about client data. Ensure that you configure adequately for your space
requirements and plan ahead for future database growth.
Configuring the server database directories for optimal performance
The database containers are the directories
that DB2® uses to store the server
database. Overall database size and the amount of data that is handled
on a daily basis are the most important factors for how you configure
the database directories.
Improving the speed of database backups
You can use multiple, concurrent data streams for database
backups, which reduce the time that is required for a backup or restore
operation to complete.
