User response is not necessary.

Explanation: The Operations Center is IBM's next-generation graphical user interface for Tivoli Storage
Manager. It provides advanced end-to-end visibility of the entire backup environment. Over time, IBM plans to add more control and automation capabilities, which will dramatically simplify daily management and operational tasks for a wide range of users.
Incorrect:
Not A: IBM Tivoli Storage Manager is a client and server program that provides storage management solutions to customers in a multi-vendor computer environment. IBM Tivoli Storage Manager provides an automated, centrally scheduled, policy-managed backup, archive, and space-management facility for file servers and workstations. Not D: No such thing as an Integrated Storage Console.

Explanation: A: TSM Servers
The status indicator shows whether the Tivoli Storage Manager servers that are managed by the Operations Center are available to provide data protection services to clients.
E: TSM Clients
A client is considered to be at risk if a problem occurs during its most recent scheduled backup, or during a backup that starts within a specified time interval. The term backup also includes archive operations for Tivoli Storage Manager for Enterprise Resource Planning clients.
Use the information that is shown in the TSM Clients section to check for failed or missed backups and to determine whether backup schedules are running as expected.

Explanation: The Disaster Recovery Manager (DRM) The TSM (Tivoli Storage Manager) Disaster
Recovery Manager is a feature that is included with TSM Extended Edition and it is the part of the TSM application that can be used to assist with the management of off-site disaster recovery.

Explanation: When a file is migrated from your local system to Tivoli Storage Manager storage, a placeholder, or stub file, is created in place of the original file. Stub files contain the necessary information to recall your migrated files and remain on your local file system so that the files appear to reside locally. This contrasts with archiving, where you usually delete files from your local file system after archiving them.

Explanation: When you configure client-side data deduplication, the following requirements must be met:

* The client and server must be at version 6.2.0 or later.
* (not D) Client-side deduplication cannot be used in combination with LAN-free backups.
* (not C) Files that are intended for deduplication must not be encrypted. Encrypted files and files from encrypted file systems cannot be deduplicated.
Etc.

Explanation: After the initial full backup of your storage pools, incremental storage pool backups are done
nightly.
