Examples

Task     Display a list of all active and inactive backup versions of
         your files in the current directory.

          dsmc query backup -inactive "*"

Task     Display a list of all your backups in the current directory.
         Use the detail option to display the last modification date and
         the last access date of each file.

          dsmc q backup -detail "*"

Task     Display a list of files that were backed up from the /home/proj
         directory with file names that begin with proj.

          dsmc q b "/home/proj/proj*"

Task     Display a list of active and inactive backup file versions in
         the /home file system.

          dsmc q b -ina -su=yes /home/

Task     Query file system images from the nas2 NAS file server.

          dsmc query backup -nasnodename=nas2 -class=nas

Query NAS file system images

You can use the query backup command to display information about file
system images backed up for a NAS file server. Tivoli Storage Manager
prompts you for an administrator ID.

Where supported, use the nasnodename option to identify the NAS file
server to query. Place the nasnodename option in your client
system-options file (dsm.sys). The value in the client system-options
file is the default, but this value can be overridden on the command
line.

Use the class option to specify the class of the file space to query. To
display a list of images belonging to a NAS node, use the -class=nas
option.

Parameters

filespec

   Specifies the path and file name that you want to query. Use wildcard

   characters to specify a group of files or all the files in a

   directory. If you use wildcard characters, enclose the file

   specification in double quotation marks. Specify an asterisk (*) to

   display information about backup versions for all of your files in

to display the archived files, analog ba for backup)
                 dsmc retrieve -pi "/dir/tsm/location/file *”
to retrieve the archived files, "pi" means "pick", you can select the individual files from a list.
 dsmc q ar "/dir/tsm/location/file".
This is similar to "restore" for backup files instead of "retrieve" for archive files.

TinyProxy Quick and Easy way to run a Proxy Caching server to protect and speed up web traffic on Linux / BSD and Mac

What Tinyproxy Does Keep in Memory:

While it doesn’t cache, it does use in-memory buffers to temporarily hold data during transmission (standard for any proxy). This is not caching in the HTTP sense — it's transient and discarded immediately after serving the request.

Hello,

Tinyproxy is caching in the server’s memory, so your statement is incorrect and the swear word doesn’t make it look intelligent.

One good hint if cockpit is not accessible in browser and you have to allow it through the firewall,
To open the firewall ports (if needed), execute the following commands:

sudo firewall-cmd --add-service=cockpit --permanent
