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.

Using Tranzman Recorder

The tool is available for download from Tranzman Recorder or by requesting it via email at TZM support

TZM Recorder for UNIX/Linux

Step 1: Download and Extract Download the recorder binary onto the backup servers involved in the migration. Ensure that the filesystem where the recorder is downloaded has at least 2GB of free space.
All files and folders will be created in the recorder's current directory. Extract the downloaded file using one of the following commands:

If the tar command does not support the 'z' option, use the gunzip and tar alternatives.

> tar xzf tzm_recorder_linux.64.tgz

> gunzip tzm_recorder_linux.64.tgz

> tar xf tzm_recorder_linux.64.tgz

Step 2: Update Permissions Modify the permissions for all extracted files in the newly created tzm_recorder folder.

> chmod +xr -R tzm_recorder

Step 3: Execute the Recorder Navigate to the tzm_recorder directory and run the binary.

> cd tzm_recorder

> ./tzm_recorder

INFO | Retrieving process list

TZM Recorder for Windows

Step 1: Download and Extract Download the Windows binary zip file to the backup server and extract the contents.
Ensure that the extracted filesystem has at least 2GB of free space, as the extracted directory will serve as the base directory for the Tranzman Recorder.
Right-click on the zip file and select "Extract."

Step 2: Execute the Recorder Open a CMD prompt, navigate to the extracted Tranzman Recorder directory, and execute the following:

# tzm_recorder.exe

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

Tranzman Recorder for Data Anonymization

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

Step 1: Run with the no_zip Option

> tzm_recorder -no_zip

-'''Step:3 (Review/Modify anon_map.txt)'''
+===Tranzman Recorder for Data Anonymization===
-The generated map file has mapping between original and random data generated as part of anonymise. This file ('''anon_map.txt''') can be updated as per customer needs.
+By default, the '''tzm_recorder''' generates an output file as a zip. To anonymize the data, either extract the file manually or run the recorder with the '''-no_zip''' option.
-<table style="width:50%;color:white;background-color:black;font-family:monospace,monospace;border-collapse:seperate;border-radius:5px 5px;border:3px solid #000;box-shadow: 5px 5px 10px grey;">

-</table>
-'''Step:4 (Anonymise the identifiable Content)'''
+'''Step 1: Run with the no_zip Option'''
-The generated anon file configurations will be anonymised based on its mapping in the file. This can be carried using below command. <br>
+<table style="width:50%;color:white;background-color:black;font-family:monospace,monospace;border-collapse:separate;border-radius:5px 5px;border:3px solid #000;box-shadow:5px 5px 10px grey;">
-The resulted output zip file will have all sensitive data updated with some random invalid data
+<tr><td><font style="color:blue">> </font>tzm_recorder -no_zip<br></td></tr>
-<table style="width:50%;color:white;background-color:black;font-family:monospace,monospace;border-collapse:seperate;border-radius:5px 5px;border:3px solid #000;box-shadow: 5px 5px 10px grey;">
-<tr>
-<td>
-<font style="color:blue">> </font> tzm_recorder -anonymise -recording_path TZM_recording_1234567890<br>
-</td>
-</tr>
 </table>
-After the data has been anonymised, user can delete the anon_map.txt file or keep it for their own reference (so that any feed back about issues in the environment can be used by them to determine what systems need to be fixed).
-===Tranzman recorder for sizing information===
-====Sizing on UNIX/Linux====
-Executing the '''tzm_recorder''' with '''-sizer''' option, let the tool perform sizing information checks
-<table style="width:50%;color:white;background-color:black;font-family:monospace,monospace;border-collapse:seperate;border-radius:5px 5px;border:3px solid #000;box-shadow: 5px 5px 10px grey;">
