Profile Manager. Profile Manager makes it easy to configure your users' macOS and iOS devices so they’re set up to use your company or school resources and have the settings your organization requires.
Who can register for the backup service? Oxford University backup services are available to all University staff, senior members and postgraduates.
You will need to have a operating system that is currently supported and direct access to the university network. I am an Oxford University undergraduate student - can I register for the backup service? No, IT Services do not have the resources to supply this service to all students. There may be a local service that is provided by your college or department: please speak to your local IT Support Team for further information. Which type of account should I register for? There are four different types of HFS account: Desktop/laptop Desktop/laptop accounts represent the most common type of backup account. They should ideally be accessed via a direct connection to the university network, although it is also possible to do so via or using.
Unless you have chosen otherwise when you registered your account (usually because you will only be backing up over VPN), there are automatic weekly backups one night per week, but it is not necessary to use these: you can also run a manual backup at any time. Choose this type of account if your machine is regularly connected to the Oxford network, either just in term-time or throughout the year, and then you will able to back up in university departments, colleges and libraries.
Server Server accounts are intended for departmental and college servers which themselves provide services, software and/or storage space for other systems. You need to be IT Support Staff to register this type, so if that is not the case then ask your IT to register it for you, with your e-mail address as the contact for the account; he/she can then provide you with the node password and/or install the HFS software for you. The daily limit is higher than that for desktop/laptop accounts, and automatic scheduled backups run six days a week (every weekday and once at weekends). Before registering for this type of account, please also read our page on. Large server Large server accounts are intended for machines that provide services and which have over 1.5TB to back up on their first backup and which may regularly experience daily incremental data change rates greater than 400GB. These figures are guidelines only and potential users of this service, who again must be IT staff, are asked to register an interest in this service in the HFS Portal. Registration for this service is thus not automatic.
The daily limit is higher than that for server accounts, and again automatic scheduled backups run six days a week. Before registering for this type of account, please also read our page on. Archive Archive accounts are for the long-term storage of data which is considered to be of value to the university.
Potential users of this service are asked to register an interest in this service via a web form - please see further our pages on. All accounts are available for backup and restore 24/7. For the limits on how much data you can send for the different accounts please see.
Please note that it is possible for us to change one account type into another but that the process is not simple. If you register for the wrong type of account please do not de-register and then re-register, as this will schedule both your old and new accounts for deletion - instead please contact the HFS Team on.
What is a nodename? Your nodename is the name of your backup or archive account. We ask that users have one account per operating system instance. Nodenames for backup are usually of the form username-text-dept/college, e.g. This is called the personal desktop/laptop (flexible name) type. There are other types of backup nodenames available to IT Support Staff only, as detailed below. Nodename type Format Example Availability Personal desktop (flexible name) username-text-dept/college ABCD1234-MYLAPTOP-EXETER All HFS users Unit desktop (flexible name) facility-text-dept/college HELPCENTRE-PC-ITSERV ITSS only Unit desktop (IP name) As IP name MYDESKTOP.IT ITSS only Unit server (IP name) As IP name MYSERVER.IT ITSS only Unit large server (IP name) As IP name MYLARGESERVER.IT ITSS only Archive account projectARCHIVE.
Dept/college IMAGESARCHIVE.IT Archive account holders 1.6. Can I register a Windows 2000 Client for backup? Maintaining support for legacy and diverse operating systems is time-consuming. Therefore IT Services no longer register nodes using Windows 2000 or earlier - some existing installations will continue to be supported if the machines cannot be upgraded to a later OS but these will be done on an individually agreed basis.
Similarly, we do not receive support from IBM for legacy client operating systems. How do I change the owner and/or contact of a registered backup account? The answer to this question depends on whether you are IT Support Staff: please see further our page on. Downloading the Backup Client Software Below are frequently asked questions regarding downloading the Backup Client Software.
Why can I not download the software installation file? If you cannot download the backup client software, please verify that you were either directly connected to the Oxford University network, or connected via VPN, when you tried to download. The client software can only be downloaded, installed and run on machines that are within the physical Oxford University network or connected via VPN.
Why is my operating system not on your list? Maintaining operating system support for legacy and diverse OSes is time-consuming. Therefore IT Services no longer register nodes using Windows 2000 or earlier - some existing installations will continue to be supported if the machines cannot be upgraded to a later OS but these will be done on an individually agreed basis. Similarly, we do not receive support from IBM for legacy client operating systems. Why are IT Services not using the latest version of the backup client software? It is not practical for us always to be using the latest client software, and new versions often prove to have minor bugs.
Also, unless there is a genuine reason to upgrade the client software we may not force clients to upgrade. What would happen if I installed the wrong backup client on my machine? There are built-in checks during the installation that should prevent you from installing the wrong client software onto your machine - even if the wrong version were installed, the worst-case scenario is that the client software would not work until the correct version were installed. Installing the backup client software Below are frequently asked question when installing the backup client software 3.1. Why won't the installer accept my nodename and password?
![Machine Machine](/uploads/1/2/5/6/125614828/747553151.png)
If your nodename and password combination aren't accepted, visit the to double-check your registered nodename and to reset your password if necessary. Why won't the installation package unzip?
You need to have local administrative rights to perform the installation. You may need to speak to your local IT staff if they manage your machine, and to ask them to install backup client software for you. How do I upgrade to a newer version of the backup client software?
To upgrade your backup client, you only need to install the latest version that is available for your operating system. Just install the new software as documented via the client-specific instructions linked from the. Why was my client configuration not reporting to the correct server? This could be due to a number of reasons but is normally because the client has been de registered and then re registered by the owner. In order to ensure stability and availability of our services the Backups are spread across a number of servers. Therefore, when clients register they may not be placed on the same server - this is certainly the case if registrations are not at the same time even if it is for the same machine. Other reasons could be:.
The client has not communicated with the servers for a long period of time and have been removed from the servers and therefore forcing the client to be re registered. An old dsm.opt was already on the client and detected and used during the installation process 3.5. How do I access the HFS backup/archive services behind a firewall?
On this subject please see further our page on. How can I back up a dual-boot machine? You will need a backup client for each operating system.
Register separately for each of your two (or three) operating systems for HFS Backup via the. This will give you Backup Client nodenames of the form username-text-department/college, e.g. Abcd1234-windows-exeter and abcd1234-linux-exeter. You should then obtain and install the latest Backup Client software for each operating system, from the page. Please make sure to exclude each operating system's files from the other, so that e.g. Your Windows partition does not back up your Linux files or vice versa, to ensure that the HFS does not receive your data twice. For instructions on this please see.
Please also note that the IBM Spectrum Protect (aka TSM) software does not support cross-platform backup/restores, meaning that you should not attempt to back up data from two different operating systems in one account, nor to restore data backed up by one operating system to another. Passwords 4.1. Why do backup client passwords expire? Backup client passwords expire 372 days after being set. It is generally good security practice to change passwords regularly and this setting forces users to change their password at least once a year. It also provides a limited safeguard to backups of machines made by users who then leave. However, by default, you will have the PasswordAccess option in your options file set to Generate.
In this case, the client and server will autonegotiate a new password and store it in encrypted form on the local client disk and you, the user, do not have to do anything. How do I change my backup client password? You can reset your backup client password by going to the. On identifying yourself with your Oxford username you can choose the option to reset your backup client password(s). The change will take effect immediately. The backup client password has a maximum length of 63 characters and is case-insensitive. Valid characters are a-zA-Z0-9+.-& i.e.
Any letter a-z upper or lower case, any number 0-9, plus, period, underscore, hyphen, ampersand. Once you have changed your password, you need to reconfigure your backup client on your machine. For instructions on doing this, see. What do I do if I've forgotten my backup client password or if it has expired?
If, on starting the backup client, you are prompted that your password has expired, or on inputting your password you receive a message 'Authentication failure' or 'ANS1051E: Invalid password', then you will need to reset your backup client password. For how to do this please see the previous section,.
Manual Backup Below are frequently asked question when performing a manual backup 5.1. Why would I need to perform a manual backup?
Manual backups can be completed at any time to capture important changed data - between scheduled backups, after missing scheduled backups or even as an alternative to scheduled backups (ideal for laptop users who are unable to leave their machines on overnight for the scheduled backups). When is my scheduled backup? Go to the and select the node for which you want information.
Times of scheduled backups will be shown in the Summary tab. How can I see if my manual backups are successful? Go to the and select the node for which you want information. The time of the last completed backup is shown in the Summary tab and details of all backup and restore sessions are shown in the Activity and Backup and restore tabs.
(Note that this information is not updated immediately and may be up to an hour out of date. If you need more recent information use the following method.) 5.4. What do the barred red circles mean? The folders and files marked with barred red circles are excluded from backup and will not be backed up. The specific exclusions have been written for a number of reasons, the main one being that the backups are intended to be used for individual data and not for installation directories or system data, e.g. The Windows directory or Program Files.
I want to back up a folder or file that has a barred red circle next to it. It is possible to remove the exclusion and include a file or folder in your backup if the exclusion is performed on the client side. However, some exclusions are forced at a server level which will override any settings changed locally - please see which will go into the exclusions in more detail.
Scheduled Backups 6.1. Can I change the day that my scheduled backup runs?
For desktop/laptop backup accounts, the day on which an automated overnight scheduled backup runs is dictated by the collegiate/departmental suffix at the end of the backup account name: each college and department is allocated one night a week on which all its backup accounts have their schedule slots. It is therefore not possible to change the day on which a desktop/laptop account's overnight scheduled backup runs. However, it is possible to set automated daytime backups on other days for certain machines, depending on the operating system: please see the next item, on this topic. Can I change the time that my scheduled backup runs? There are two types of backup schedules:. Automated overnight schedules, which one may optionally sign up for when registering a backup account. Depending on the college or department selected as the suffix of your account name, these will be at some time between 18:00 and 06:00.
If your machine is not normally switched on at the time when your scheduled backup occurs, but it is left connected to the Oxford network, then you can configure it to switch on and off automatically for the backups (see the next item, ). If this is not convenient then you can run a manual backup at any time: on how to do this, please see our instructions for,. However, it is possible to change the time of your backup, albeit within a limited number of slots during the evening and/or night. Please contact if you would like the time of your scheduled backup changed. A separate automated daytime scheduler is available for Windows. Please see further our page on the. Do I need to leave my computer on all night in order to back up?
No, that is not necessary. There are two alternatives to leaving your machine switched on. It can be configured to wake up at a specific time for the backup schedule to run, and also to shut off again when the backup has completed: please see further our page on. Alternatively, you can run a manual backup at any time: on how to do this, please see our instructions for,. When is my scheduled backup due to run? Go to the and select the node for which you want information.
The regular schedule times are shown in the Summary tab and the dates of times of all scheduled backups in the next week or shown in the Scheduled tab. How can I stop receiving the 'HFS Scheduled Backup Failure Report' when I only back up manually? If you registered your backup account before February 2014, then it will have an overnight backup schedule associated with it by default. Those registering a desktop/laptop account since then will see an option to choose to have a backup schedule, should they want one. If you have a backup schedule that you do not wish to use, then you might like to retain it so that you receive a weekly reminder to run a backup.
However, if you wish, you can remove the backup schedule by following the instructions on our page on. How can I stop the backup scheduler running? In certain circumstances you may wish to stop running scheduled backups. For example:. Your machine is never connected to the university network when the overnight schedules run, and so you do not need a scheduler running.
You are running a series of initial manual backups in order to send a full copy of your data to the HFS, before later moving on to use the scheduled ones. You lost data and have as yet to restore it: in this case you should switch off (TSM) scheduler services to ensure that no further automatic backups run before or during your restore. For how to stop the scheduler, please see the relevant instructions for,. I've received an email with the subject of 'TSM Scheduled backup failure report' This means that a scheduled backup for a node registered to your email address has not completed. To resolve the issue or to understand why this happened please follow the guide to resolve the issue. What is the difference between MISSED, FAILED and SEVERED backups? If your scheduled backup does not run or failed to complete you will receive an automated email notification, indication whether a particular node MISSED the schedule, FAILED to backup or was SEVERED.
Definitions for each of these can be found below: MISSED This means that the scheduled backup has not ran at all, it did not begin. There are a number of reasons this may have happened, please follow the Scheduled backup troubleshooting guide to resolve the issue. Example of why a scheduled backup may have not run are; Machine not being left on, machine not having physical connection to the Oxford University network. FAILED This means that the scheduled backup has started, but something has caused the backup to fail. There are a number of reasons this may have happened, please follow the guide to resolve the issue. Examples of why a scheduled backup may have failed are: files skipped as they were in use by another application, files were explicitly locked, files could not be read due to hard disk error or file corruption SEVERED This means that the scheduled backup has started, but something has caused the backup to fail or become disconnected.
There are a number of reasons this may have happened, please follow the guide to resolve the issue. Examples of why a scheduled backup may cause a SEVERED error are: network communication error, lack of memory causing connection or application to fail. Restoring Files and Folders 7.1. How do I perform a restore? If you have the machine that you used to back up your data, please follow our instructions for running a TSM restore in,. If you do not have the original machine, then please see our FAQ item.
I can't see my files, but I'm sure they were backed up. The usual reason that files are not visible in the restore window is that they are inactive; the default is for the backup client software only to show active files. For an explanation of active/inactive files, see.
To view both active and inactive files, click on View and then chose View Active/Inactive Files: this should fix the problem. If viewing inactive files does not help, and your machine is a Mac, please see our knowledgebase article. My machine has crashed - can I perform a system restore?
In the case of desktops and laptops, the backup service provided by IT Services is intended to provide data backups, not system backup and recovery: you should rebuild your system using original media and then install the TSM software to recover your data back onto your machine. For more details, please read our page on. Why can I not restore my data back to the same location when restoring to a new machine? In Windows, if your machine has crashed and you are restoring data to a new machine, or if you have upgraded your machine and you are restoring data to a new machine, then you must specify an alternative location to which to restore. This is because when you restore to the original location the backup client software uses the UNC path which will contain the name of the old computer and not the new one. The old UNC path includes the name of the old machine: so unless your old and new your two Windows machines have identical names, the data restore would fail. What are active and inactive files?
An active file is a file that currently resides both on your machine and on the HFS, in the same version.
