Select Operating System and Download

  Choose the Operating System for your machine. The following links will automatically take you to the latest version of the client software for your particular OS.

If you did not read and agree to the UIC Network Backup Policy, you must do that now: UIC Network Backup Policy
That page will bring you back here after you read and agree to the policy.

Documentation is now available for all current client programs here: IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Client Documentation.

Click on your operating system in this list to download its client program. We encourage you to always run the latest version, as shown in this list. In this table, "obsolete" means that OS is no longer officially supported by its vendor, or by Tivoli. In that case, versions listed below are the latest version known to work.

Note September 2009: Performance problem in 5.5.2.0 fixed

A bug was introduced in v5.5.2.0 that can cause very slow backups, on any platform. This has been fixed in 5.5.2.2 and later.

Note July 2009: Mac OSX 10.5 Java Problem Fixed

If you apply the Java update contained in Apple OSX Level 10.5.7, your TSM client will stop working, unless you update to the new version 5.5.2.3 listed below.

Note May 2009: Security Problems Force Client Updates

Many versions of the TSM Client software older than the versions listed below contain known security vulnerabilities. If you are using an older version, you should upgrade right away.

How to tell if your Windows system is 32-bit or 64-bit: Right-click "My Computer", select "Properties", and look under the "General" tab. If it's a 64-bit system, it will say something like "x64" as a part of the Windows operating system name. If it does not say anything about being 64-bit or 32-bit, then it's a 32-bit system.

Support for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 SP1 is in test mode at Tivoli, however we have found Version 5.5.2+ to work OK, at least on Windows 7.
