The NIH Backup and Recovery Service (NBARS) is increasingly popular with PC (Windows) users for automatically backing up and retrieving data files from file server or PC. A new, enhanced version of the NBARS client software will be available for downloading from the NBARS’s Web site on April 30, 2001.
The new client software will feature improvements, as well as a new name, Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM). TSM is IBM’s successor to the ADSM storage management software that has been used for NBARS for over five years.
The TSM software offers several improvements, including:
• a user-friendly interface for incorporating changes to the options file
• easier installation of the scheduler service on the NT platform
• global password change for the backup client and the scheduler service (NT only)
Downloading the Client Software
Beginning April 30, to download the software go to the NBARS Web page, use the link to "Client Software," and follow the instructions. Documentation will be available via the Web page.
For assistance, contact your ADSM domain administrator. If you do not know your ADSM domain or you are a member of NBARS’s common domain, please contact TASC.
