Tranzman Recorder Overview & Usage

The Tranzman Recorder is a FREE tool designed to create a data snapshot of the origin or destination backup environments involved in a migration.
It gathers information from backup environments for initial assessment and migration purposes.
Additionally, it serves as a virtual agent for migrations and recoveries.

Download: Tranzman Recorder or request via email: TZM support

   Tranzman recorder webpage.jpg

Recorder Usage: UNIX/Linux

  1. Download and Extract
    Download the recorder binary onto the backup servers involved in the migration.
    Ensure at least 2GB of free space on the filesystem.
    Extract using:
    > tar xzf tzm_recorder_linux.64.tgz

    If tar does not support z:

    > gunzip tzm_recorder_linux.64.tgz
    > tar xf tzm_recorder_linux.64.tgz
  2. Update Permissions
    > chmod +xr -R tzm_recorder
  3. Execute the Recorder
    > cd tzm_recorder
    > ./tzm_recorder
    INFO | Tool build date Thu Apr 6 21:45:03 2023
    INFO | START - Gathering environment information
    INFO | Retrieving process list

Recorder Usage: Windows

  1. Download and Extract
    Download the Windows binary zip file and extract the contents.
    Ensure at least 2GB of free space on the extracted filesystem.
    Right-click the zip file and select "Extract."
  2. Execute the Recorder
    Open a CMD prompt, navigate to the extracted directory, and run:
    # tzm_recorder.exe

Note.png The CMD prompt should be started as Run as Administrator or with an account that has Administrator rights.

Recorder Usage: NetBackup CloudScale

  1. Copy Recorder Binary
    Securely copy the recorder package to the target system:
    > scp tzm_recorder_linux.64.tgz <user>@<server>:/tmp
  2. Access the Environment
    Log in to the Kubernetes cluster or NetBackup environment:
    > ssh <admin>@<server>
    > kubectl get pods -n netbackup
  3. Transfer to Pod
    Copy the recorder into the desired pod:
    > kubectl cp tzm_recorder_linux.64.tgz <namespace>/<pod-name>:/tmp/
  4. Extract and Prepare
    Enter the pod and extract the recorder:
    > kubectl exec -it <pod-name> -n <namespace> -- /bin/bash
    > cd /tmp
    > tar -xzf tzm_recorder_linux.64.tgz
    > cd tzm_recorder
  5. Run the Recorder
    Execute the recorder inside the pod:
    > ./tzm_recorder
    INFO | START - Gathering environment information
    INFO | Retrieving process list

Note.png Ensure the pod has sufficient free space (≥2GB) before extraction and execution.


Data Anonymization

By default, tzm_recorder generates an output file as a zip. To anonymize data, either extract manually or run with the -no_zip option:

> tzm_recorder -no_zip
