Hi everybody,
I've set up installers and usage instructions for Ubuntu 32 bit and 64
bit TSM backup. These should be ready to try now, and all you should
need otherwise is a TSM account (with scheduled backup if you want
regular automatic backups).
The instructions page with download links is now at
https://web.mit.edu/alexp/Public/tsm64doc/article.html. This is in my
Public directory and will move somewhere more appropriate after we've
done some testing.
The 32 bit version here replaces an older 32 bit version that's been
around for a while and configured in a slightly different way. I did
this to make the 64 bit and 32 bit configurations essentially the same
and to reduce potential confusion.
This should work on any Ubuntu machine, not just debathena machines
though there may some trickiness in finding a Java runtime that works
for dsmj. Also the include-exclude file is preset to be (mostly)
appropriate for Athena. The idea (as before) is that we don't want to
back up everything on the machine by default, and users should put files
to be backed up below /var/local. It's best to run everything as root;
although in principle a user should be able to back up and restore their
own files when logged in as themselves, this has proven to be glitchy in
the past.
Please try it out and let me know if anything seems amiss.
Alex
