General Information

Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) provides automated backup of client systems' data to a central storage server. It offers automated data protection that can help reduce the risks associated with data loss. Backups occur overnight during various time slots over the LSU campus network. TSM enables users to protect their organization’s data from failures and other errors by storing backup data. By perpetual backup, TSM initially does one full backup of all information on the server then daily backups based on any changes in the system (new files, deleted files, and altered files). Through TSM, users can also control what files and folders to backup.
