What is Tivoli Storage Manager?

Welcome to Backups at the University of Maryland, College Park. We are proud to offer the University community a leading-edge, storage management software solution that can meet any of your backup and recovery needs. Backups at University of Maryland utilizes IBM's Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM). IBM boasts an early entry into the storage management market, releasing its product, then known as ADSM, in 1993. TSM's history on the market and its backing by a major player in the IT industry endorses TSM's success and reliability in data storage management.

Tivoli Storage Manager's provides Backup and Recovery Management across a wide range of platforms, scaling from laptops to mainframes, and implements a consistent management interface for easy management at the customer-level. TSM backs up only new and changed files, having no dependence on "full backups" as is true of many other backup solutions. The TSM methodology reduces the amount of data being managed, as well as reducing the time and bandwidth taken to transfer data from the customer site to the OIT-managed data store. To learn more about the TSM offerings at the University of Maryland, please visit www.backups.umd.edu, or contact us at backups-help@umd.edu
