HSMS (Hierarchical Storage Management System) is a BS2000 software product for data backup which supports data management on external storage devices in a BS2000 system. HSMS also supports Net-Storage connected via NFS with the Net-Storage files cataloged in BS2000. Net-Storage serves to expand local pubsets and collaboration with open world systems. In BS2000 V21.0A and higher in addition to Net-Storage volumes of type NETSTOR, the Net-Storage volumes of type NETVOL are supported. For more details refer to the manual “Introductory Guide to DMS” [4]. Unless otherwise specified explicitly, the term "Net-Storage" refers to both volume types NETSTOR and NETVOL within the whole manual.
HSMS is operated via an easy-to-use user interface. HSMS statements are entered via SDF.
