Spectrum Protect (formerly TSM): Backup Reports

Note: IBM has rebranded 'TSM' as 'Spectrum Protect'.

Spectrum Protect accepts new registrations for server machine backups only. To back up your desktop or laptop, download and register for a CrashPlan account.

If your department, lab, or center (DLC) has three or more Spectrum Protect subscriptions you, as an IT support administrator, can receive a report every two weeks showing the filespaces backed up for each subscription. The reports are designed to facilitate management of Spectrum Protect backup operations on multiple server machines.
