Backup (IBM Storage Protect (TSM))

Please note: The manufacturer IBM has changed the name of the backup software TSM to Storage Protect. The software itself is the same as before, so no changes have to be made to the clients.

In cooperation with the IZUS/TIK of the University of Stuttgart, we operate Storage Protect servers on which institutes of the University of Hohenheim can back up data.

It is possible to back up central file servers as well as desktop computers or notebooks to the Storage Protect system. The servers and libraries are located at the TIK in Stuttgart Vaihingen.

Conditions

  • The computer to be secured has a Hohenheim network address (144.41.0.0/16).
  • Your client is supported by Storage Protect. Here is a list of current clients.

Procedure

  • Using a form, you provide us with all the necessary data for setting up the Storage Protect Node.
  • You will then receive the access data by email.

Costs

The service is fee-based, i.e., the costs (currently €115 per TB per year) paid by KIM are charged to the facilities.

Each department has an exemption level of 2 TB backup volume in total across all nodes. If the backup volume of a department exceeds the limit of 2 TB, the costs for the entire data volume (including the 2 TB) will be charged. The data volume is determined on a reporting date basis at the beginning of November each year.
