The TSM Release Team is happy to announce the release of TSM 5.1.5 for
Windows XP and Windows 2000. TSM (Tivoli Storage Manager), previously named
ADSM, is an application that lets you back up and
restore files from/to your computer over the network.
Who Should Download and Why
---------------------------
All Windows XP and 2000 users who want a utility that will back up and
restore their files should consider using TSM 5.1.5.
Version 5 is the first version of TSM that supports Windows XP.
If you use Windows XP and have been using earlier versions of TSM,
you *must* update to this one. Previous versions of TSM do *not* support
Windows XP.
Note: Note: Windows NT and 2000 users do not need to upgrade from their
current version of TSM as there are no additional features for NT and
2000 users.
NT will be de-supported by I/S in June 2003.
See http://web.mit.edu/is/help/winnt/pss.html for further information.
