BRMS clients
BRMS Tivoli Storage Manager client
The BRMS client to Tivoli Storage Manager provides users with a means to
define BRMS as an application client to Tivoli Storage Manager, and the Tivoli
Storage Manager server as a device to BRMS. This capability enables users to
save user data to any available Tivoli Storage Manager server. The BRMS Tivoli
Storage Manager client is shipped with the base product.
For information related to the BRMS Client to Tivoli Storage Manager, see
Backup Recovery and Media Services for iSeries, SC41-5345.
BRMS iSeries Navigator client
BRMS also provides an optional client to iSeries Navigator, which is installed as
a plug-in on a workstation running iSeries Access. This BRMS iSeries Navigator
client allows users to perform many BRMS operations within the iSeries
Navigator environment.

New with V5R3
BRMS iSeries Navigator client enhancements include:
A Reclaim wizard is available to assist you in copying the active files on
fragmented media to new media so you can reduce your media inventory and
minimize your media purchases.
An enhanced search capability is added to the backup history Include panel.
It makes finding objects in the backup history easier. For example, searches
for objects can scan all saved libraries or all saved directories.
The displaying of the BRMS log is enhanced to support improved search and
sorting of the log entries.
