Backup and Archive


The TSM client is available and supported on Linux, Windows, and Apple OSX. You can download the software directly from the IBM website. We are currently running Storage Protect version 8.1, and you are expected to keep your client updated to the same major version.

Full installation documentation is available at the IBM website.

Depending upon your configuration, you may need to modify your device's firewall settings to allow network access to the TSM application.

To mitigate certain ransomware attacks, administrative actions such as deleting client or backup filesets are restricted to campus networks enforcing multi-factor authentication. To access these functions, you must log into the ICTNSAM Virtual Private Network (VPN), and authenticate with your TSM admin account (versus the TSM client account). Your TSM account uses your Gatorlink for authentication.
