External Services
TSM Backup Quantity
Price: $0.00
Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) Tape Backup with replication to an external site (Atlanta, GA) for disaster recovery. UFIT Research Computing will configure the backup on HiPerGator and act as an intermediary for the UFIT ICT unit that provides the service. The cost is $6.50 per month for 1 TB of data. The amount of space the backup will actually use will depend on the selected number of snapshots (copies) and retention time. Purchasing this service obligates you to cover all costs incurred for the duration of the investment. Monthly bills will be sent for payment. A support ticket is required for backup configuration to specify the directories to be backed up, number of snapshots to be retained, and retention time for snapshots (the service and the defaults are described at https://help.rc.ufl.edu/doc/Tivoli_Backup). No charges will be applied at the purchase time. Backup services will not start until details are established, backup is configured, and you are notified. Backup services will end when the backup investment expires. In the event you wish to recover backed up files, open a support ticket with the details.
