The TSM backup service is available to Oxford University staff, senior members and postgraduates and covers laptops, desktops and servers running Windows, Mac OS X, Linux and Unix. There is also a remote backup service for those above who are working away from oxford for extended periods of time.
1.2. Need help?
If you are having problems with TSM or would like to know how to perform key tasks such as backing up or restoring data, then please review our section giving help using the TSM client.
If you have received an email from the HFS Team then please see the automated emails page for support and advice.
1.3. Leaving?
Leaving, or no longer require backup services?
If you are leaving Oxford University or no longer require the backup service that you have registered for, then please see the sections on deregistering your active nodes and removing the TSM client software.
This will help us to maintain an efficient system that stores only data that is beneficial to those currently associated with Oxford University.
