Backing up important professional or private files, such as texts, images and other documents, is essential.

backup-changeover 2022 is what is described as a Major Change in change management. In context Datensicherung.nrw, we are moving to Commvault’s backup software solution at RWTH and many universities in NRW. For many users, this far-reaching change also means that they are not only getting involved with a new software solution, but with many other changes. At RWTH Aachen University, which provides the service as a service provider center for a number of universities, a complex but highly available new platform for the backup infrastructure has been set up over the past few months. In addition to the technical innovations, we have also initiated a completely new support offering: Backup Consulting Day

Not only harmful attacks or external circumstances can lead to data loss, but also malfunctions or failures pose a great danger to business-relevant data. This makes it all the more important to back up data reliably and to be able to restore it quickly in the event of damage. Only in this way can operations be resumed as quickly as possible.
As of June 30, 2022, we at the IT Center and RWTH Aachen University now have a new common goal: the transition to our new platform, the backup software “Commvault Backup & Recovery“, which will replace the current IBM Spectrum Protect (formerly Tivoli Storage Manager, known as TSM) at RWTH.
Already on December 09, 2021, the changeover in the area of backup was presented at the admin roundtable. In order to inform our administrators at RWTH early and extensively, a virtual information event on the backup changeover took place on February 11, 2022. All backup administrators and all participants in the regular admin round were invited. Read the rest of this entry »
