# Tivilo Storage Manager (TSM)

**Tivilo Storage Manager (TSM)** is the legacy backup and archiving system used by the Universitätsrechenzentrum (URZ) at Universität Greifswald.

## Status
TSM is currently being phased out in favor of [[restic]]. To prevent data loss during the migration, the URZ employs a parallel operation strategy where TSM remains active until the new Restic backup is fully operational and a regular backup cycle has been established.

## Role
Historically, TSM served as the primary tool for the [[zentrale-datensicherungsstrategie]], providing both short-term backups and long-term archiving for university server systems.
