TSM packages for several OS are listed under software.

Installing TSM on Ubuntu
       The TSM packages for Ubuntu 14.04 and upwards are located in the DESY ASG repository for Ubuntu.
       A new component "tsm" has been created, which contains the IBM TSM packages and a metapackage.
       1. Create a new sources.list with the following content:
             $ vi /etc/apt/sources.list.d/tsm.list
             deb http://nims.desy.de/extra/desy/ trusty tsm
             deb-src http://nims.desy.de/extra/desy/ trusty tsm
       2. Add DESY GPG Apt key (Fingerprint: 0C81 0EC0 C0C7 E422 2B93 5FD2 0E60 CA79 4E76 CE0E)
             $ wget http://nims.desy.de/extra/desy/DESY-Debian-key.asc
             $ apt-key add DESY-Debian-key.asc
       3. Update the repository sources
             $ aptitude update
       4. Install the TSM metapackage, which installs all required packages
             $ aptitude install tsm
       5. Configure TSM on your machine by editing the configuration in /etc/tsm
       6. Enable dsmcad to start on boot
             $ update-rc.d dsmcad defaults

Updating TSM on Ubuntu
         1. apt upgrade tsm

Installing TSM on SL5/6 or el7 64 bit:

In case of problems with dsmcad (Client Acceptor Daemon, the recommended Tivoli Storage Manager client scheduler for the Macintosh platform), one can use the classic scheduler.
The classisc scheduler can be started on the command line of every Mac-system.

Mac:~ Administrator$ sudo su -
Password:
Mac:~ root#

Important are two options:
MANAGEDSERVICES NONE and PASSWORDACCESS GENERATE
In the GUI to be configured like:

TSM tools for Administrators -> Tivoli Storage Manager
(enter administrator password)
Edit -> Client Preferences
Web Client tab
Important: the schedule box is _NOT_ checked.

PASSWORDACCESS GENERATE
Oder in der GUI
Edit -> Client Preferences
Authorization tab
"Password Generate" checked.

Afterwards one can start the classisc scheduler in the background:

# cd /Library/Application\ Support/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/
# nohup ./dsmc sched > /dev/null 2>&1 &

The scheduler-output is /Library/Logs/tivoli/tsm/dsmsched.log

To start the scheduler during the boot process:

OSX 10.4, 10.5, 10.6:

As root user:

# crontab -e

Enter the lines:
@reboot cd /Library/Application\ Support/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/ ; ./dsmc sched > /dev/null 2>&1

OSX 10.4, 10.5:
Create an entry in /etc/rc.local with the content:

/Library/Application\ Support/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/dsmc sched > /dev/null 2>&1

(Important: from OSX 10.6 on, the rc.local method is not supported anymore)

       ./desy.dsm-solaris_x86-upd

       dsmc q fi

A backup for certain files or volumes can be specified with:
        dsmc incr -domain="/ /usr"

The filesystems can also be configured in "dsm.opt".
        domain / /usr

If the domain are not configured in "dsm.opt" and the
        dsmc incr
is issued, all local filesystems will be backuped.

In case a directory is not a mountpoint, additionally to the entry in "dsm.opt" an entry in "dsm.sys" as "virtualmountpolnt" should be configured.
In dsm.opt:
        Domain /home/user_name/dir
In dsm.sys:
        virtualmountpoint /home/user_name/dir

Der TSM allows also to archive files.

Unlike the backup, an archive is always a unique file that is equipped with information.

In contrast to the backup, there is no versioning and a defined deletion time of the file, which depends on the selected management class.

The file is removed from the system on the defined release date.

Example output of :

dsmc q mgmt

Linux:
open a terminal
/usr/bin/dsmc set password

Windows:
press the start-button and r
type in / copy into the Run-window:
C:\Program Files\Tivoli\TSM\baclient\dsmc set password

dsmc q mgmt -det


The first part of the output contains the name of the used "Default Mgmt Class Name". The block with this "MgmtClass Name"name"" contains along other information:

     Versions Data Exists - how many versions of the files are to be stored, as long as a current file exists.

     Versions Data Deleted - up to how many versions of a file shall be stored, if no current file exists any more.

     Retain Extra Versions - how long shall inactive versions of a file be stored.

     Retain Only Version - how long shall the last version of an inactive file be stored, after the last active version ceased to exist.

The filenames shall be created with character set ISO-8859-15.
The environment variables shall be set to::
     export LANG=de_DE
     export LC_CTYPE=de_DE

       dsmc q sched

- only the active versions:
     dsmc q ba "/home*"
  - all stored files:
     dsmc q ba "/home*" -ina
  - all active versions in a directory:
     dsmc q ba "/home*" -subdir=no
  - with details:
     dsmc q ba file_name -ina -det
  - all archived files in current version:
     dsmc q archive "*"
   - for mor eoptions:
     dsmc help q

To view inactive files in the graphical interface, the view has to be changed:
choose in 'View': 'Display active/inactive files'

Use braces in a file path specification within a query or restore/retrieve to isolate and explicitly identify the file space name (or virtual mount point name) to TSM in cases where there can be ambiguity. For example: If you have two filespaces "/a" and "/a/b" and want to query "/a/b/somefile" from the /a file system, specify "{/a/}somefile".
        dsmc q ba {/a/}somefile

To exclude some files or directories from beeing stored, configure this in the file "inclexcl".
The path for the "inclexl"-file is stored in dsm.sys.
     exclude /.../*.tmp
     exclude.dir /tmp

On Windows this is configured in the file: "dsm.opt".
    
The:
       dsmc q inclexcl
shows a list of include / exclude-clauses in the storage sequence.

The date format depends on the settings in your operation system. To ensure the same format, you can use as first option "-date=4" for the format DD.MM.YYYY:
tsm> rest -date=4 -ina -pitdate=21.07.2004 /afs/desy.de/user/a/anyuser/x.cpp

or insert the option:
dateformat 4
into: /etc/tsm/dsm.opt


following examples works only on afs systems with dsmc_afs :

- simple file restore to another destination:
       tsm> restore /afs/desy.de/user/a/anyuser/target.html /afs/desy.de/user/a/anyuser/destination.html
- simple file restore, with replace option:
       tsm> restore -rep=yes /afs/desy.de/user/a/anyuser/show.html
- selection menue of old file versions:
       tsm> restore -inactiv -pick /afs/desy.de/user/a/anyuser/exp.cmz
- restore old file version with date limit:
       tsm> rest -ina -pitdate=2004.07.01 /afs/desy.de/user/a/anyuser/x.cpp
- restore old file version with specific date, from which you want to search for backup copies. Files that were backed up before this date and time are not included
       tsm> rest -ina -pick -fromdate=2004.07.01 /afs/desy.de/user/a/anyuser/x.cpp
- restore old file version with specific date range:
       tsm> rest -ina -fromdate=2010.04.21 -tod=2010.05.05 "/afs/desy.de/user/a/anydir/*"
- restore old directory version, with date limit and replace data:
       tsm> restore -ina -rep=yes -subdir=yes -pitdate=2004.07.01 /afs/desy.de/user/a/anyuser/tesla/

- use braces in a file path specification within a query or restore/retrieve to isolate and explicitly identify the file space name (or virtual mount point name) to TSM in cases where there can be ambiguity. For example: If you have two filespaces "/a" and "/a/b" and want to query "/a/b/somefile" from the /a file system, specify "{/a/}somefile".
         tsm> restore {/a/}somefile

How to restore from any local TSM/ADSM node to start the TSM GUI:

dsm in older TSM Versions, in newer use dsmj

press the Restore button and select your file.
Alternatively you can restore a specific file under the current pwd via TSM CLI (command-line interface).
A simple restore example:

dsmc restore scan.tex

How to restore an AFS file (user or group) quick from the ~/.OldFiles/ directory or from the DESY AFS TSM GUI via:

dsm_afs (or /products/adsm/bin/dsm_afs)

Press the Restore button and select your file, or with the DESY AFS TSM CLI (command-line interface).

Examples:

dsmc_afs restore /afs/desy.de/user/a/anyusername/.netscape/bookmarks.html
(for all inactive files in the directory)
dsmc_afs restore -ina "/afs/desy.de/user/a/anyuser/directory/*"

ATTENTION: only such AFS files which are readable by system:administrators will be stored in the TSM backup node AFSFILE. AFS setacl example:

fs setacl -dir private -acl system:administrators rlidwka<

A detailed description with screenshots and informationen on the TSM/ADSM-V5- backup can be found at:
Backup TSM/ADSM

Backup for data in the WINDOWS 7/XP home directory/ Outlook User

Restore Windows XP/Windows 7 files on the WIN domain: please use "Previous Versions" on your directory.
Shadow copy help: ShadowCopy.doc
Restore older Windows files from the WIN domain, please send a request via email to windows

Restore a Zimbra INBOX file or folder files please send a request via email to mailmaster

Exceptions from Backup
There are some exceptions where a backup is normally not useful. E.g. temporary files, cach directories of applications and logfiles that are changing, and directories which have been exempted in compliance with the group administrators.

For any kinds of questions: please contact the UCO
