[Macpartners] TSM 5.3.2 Release Effort Underway

[Albert Willis]

Good afternoon.

Information Services and Technology is pleased to announce the start  
of the effort to release Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) 5.3.2, IS&T's  
supported backup application for Macintosh users.

The major new feature of this version is compatibility with Mac OS X  
10.4 "Tiger", allowing users to backup, archive and restore files  
with extended attributes, a new feature of Mac OS X 10.4 files. In  
addition, TSM 5.3.2 now supports Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)  
128-bit encryption. AES is the United States government's encryption  
standard for non-classified but sensitive data.

Other new features and known issues are described in the TSM 5.3.2  
notebook: http://web.mit.edu/swrt/releases/tsmmac/. Please note that  
TSM 5.3.2 requires Mac OS X 10.3.9 or greater.

IS&T plans to retire TSM 5.2 and 5.1.5 for Macintosh users once TSM  
5.3.2 is released.

If you have questions, suggestions, or would like to participate in  
the release of TSM 5.3.2, please contact the team at tsmmac- 
release at mit.edu.
