Note May 2009: Security Problems Force Client Updates
Security vulnerabilities have been found in previous versions of the TSM software.
If you are already using ADSM on a current operating system, you should download the newest versions and upgrade right away.

ADSM has completely
changed, including the software's name -- it's now Tivoli Storage Manager
-- and we have now have two machines running it, which means
that ADSM can easily handle many more users.
Only faculty and staff are eligible to use TSM; only one personal workstation
per person, and that workstation has to be on the UIC campus and on the
UIC campus wired network or UIC-Wireless network. (Not cable, DSL, or dialin lines.)
ADSM backups allow you to retrieve files you inadvertently erase or to recover
from hard disk failure. Use ADSM to back up your personal computer over the
network, unattended. Do it before you lose files.
We also make ADSM backups of your files on the ACCC UNIX servers tigger and icarus for
you; you can use the DSM and DSMC UNIX
commands to restore files
from these backups. We also use ADSM to back up all the servers that we keep your ACCC uic.edu email on. If your email account is on mailserv, you must send email requesting the return of lost email to systems@uic.edu very soon after you lose it. The rapid changes in email means that copies don't get kept in the backups very long.
See ADSM Backup for FaCT Personal Computers
for instructions on setting up FaCT faculty computers up to use ADSM.
