This page contains copies of the ADSM/IBM Tivoli Storage Manager
client programs for you to download to your workstation, so you can
connect to our IBM Tivoli Storage Manager server to back it up over
the network.
Before proceeding, you must read and agree to the following UIC
policies regarding our network backup service:
ADSM is offered only to individual UIC faculty and staff members for use
on their own primary, exclusively used, personal computer or UNIX
workstation located on the UIC campus.
ADSM is not available for use on public-access workstations including
public lab personal computers.
ADSM is only available by special arrangement for any system that
operates as a server.
This includes LAN file servers; group, departmental, or class Web
servers; or any workstations used by more than one person.
The administrators for these
servers are responsible for making their own arrangements for
backup.
If you are the administrator of such a server system and you would like to
explore the use of ADSM to back up your server, send email to
datasave@uic.edu
Each eligible person may register only one machine.
You are warned that, due to technical limitations, if you attempt to
back up more than one machine or one operating system with a single ADSM
account,
YOU MAY BE UNABLE TO RESTORE SOME OR ALL OF YOUR DATA SHOULD THE NEED ARISE.
This technical limitation considers multiple Operating Systems on a
single machine (such as with "dual-boot") to be multiple machines.
While the one-time change of upgrading to a new computer is OK,
if we find that you are consistently backing up two machines to one account,
we reserve the right to lock your account.
This most often happens when you get a new computer and fail to
remove ADSM from your old computer.
If you have a valid need for an additional ADSM account, send your request to
datasave@uic.edu
Valid reasons include having two offices, or having a dual-boot configuration
on a single machine.
Only your "personal data files" can be backed up.
In general, this means only the C:\ drive on Windows, or the "/" ("Macintosh HD")
filesystem on Mac OSX.
We speicifally forbid backing up the Windows System State or System Object, or
any removable drive such as CD, DVD, or a USB plugable drive.
If you need another drive baked up, such as on a machine having your personal data files on
both C:\ and D:\ drives, send your request by email to
datasave@uic.edu
Files that you delete (whether accidentally or on purpose) will be kept for
60 days. Files that you change or update will be kept for seven generations
of change or for 30 days, whichever occurs first. Files that you do not delete
or change will remain restorable as long as they remain on your workstation.
However, at 30 days, all copies of a deleted file except the last one are purged.
Be forewarned that
large restores (such as an entire disk drive) may involve a substantial amount
of time, possibly as long as a day or two.
Given the large volume of data that is transferred when using ADSM, it can
not be used from off-campus or from any type of outside connection, including
the ACCC dialin lines.
It is not available for the Rockford or Peoria campuses.
It may only be used with on-campus directly-wired Ethernet
or UIC Wireless network connections. In particular it may not be
used from any type of DSL or cable modem connection, even if that happens to
be physically located on campus. Laptops may be backed up when they are
physically carried onto campus and connected to the UIC network,
either wired or wireless.
The numeric IP address of a computer connecting
to ADSM must begin with 128.248 or 131.193.
(This need not be a fixed address - DHCP is OK, as is UIC Wireless.)
For new installs, you agree to install the most recent version of the TSM Client
Software, as listed on the next page for your computer system.
ADSM for personal computers is for faculty and staff only. It is not
for students.
You must have
a UIC netid, and an account and password which will allow you to authenticate
with UIC's Bluestem. If you do not yet have a UIC netid or an ACCC account
