Good Afternoon,

Information Systems and the TSM Windows Release Team are proud to
announce availability and support of Version 4.1.3 of the TSM (Tivoli)
file-backup client software for Windows systems.

  technical assistance from vendor.

Also, the new MIT installer will:

  new subscriptions at MIT.
- set up automatic exclusion of cache and temp files from backup.
