Installation/Upgrades to TSM Client version 6.1
Please review the manuals concerning migration to this level. There have been changes that may/will affect your environment. If this is a new install with a new node (nothing has been backed up) then you do not need to worry about this.
Windows users running 32bit Windows version XP or higher, please use client version 6.1.0.0 or higher. Uninstall the prior version and then install the new base code and the latest patch.
Base Code:
Latest patch:
Earlier versions of Windows are no longer supported. Please contact us directly if you are running earlier versions of OSX so we can discuss the options with you. If you are running 64 bit Windows, please contact us.
1. Coordinate with UCBackup to rename your existing file spaces or
have your existing backup deleted. If you choose to delete your existing backup
then there will be a small window where you have NO data backed up.
2. Install and configure the 6.1 Client or latest 5.5 or 5.4 Client for your
MAC OS (check the readme for requirements).
3. Run a manual backup of critical data.
4. If you choose the renaming route please contact us to delete the old renamed
file space when a successful backup is confirmed. Also note that the renamed
file space will count against occupancy.
The reason for this is that the TSM client has moved from the Traditional Mac Path (:) to the UNIX Path (/) which seems to cause problem for some users. It is best to start with a clean slate to prevent these problems.
