Using Recorder in Linux

Step 1

Once the file has been copied to the backup server, extracted the contents, make sure there is at least 2GB of space in the folder where you extract, this will also be used as the run folder where data capture is staged.

Extract files from the TGZ archive using the gunzip and tar commands.

gunzip tzm_recorder_linux.64.tgz

tar xvf tzm_recorder_linux.64.tar

Step 2

Modify access to all files extracted in the newly created tzm_recorder folder.

chmod -R 700 tzm_recorder

Step 3

Run tzm_recorder found in the extracted folder.

cd tzm_recorder ./tzm_recorder


Using Recorder in Windows

Step 1

Once the file has been copied to the backup server extracted the contents, make sure there is at least 2GB of space in the folder where you extract, this will also be used as the run folder where data capture is staged.
