This tutorial is based on TSM version 5.5 for the Macintosh computer. Before a backup can occur you will need to:

• Contact the TSM Administrator to create your account and TSM NodeID.
• Install the TSM client software on your computer. The client software can be downloaded from The Macintosh Software Manager page. 
• Follow the instructions for installing on configuring the TSM client software on your Macintosh computer.

Use these instructions to configuring your TSM Client Preferences for a scheduled backup.

1. Start TSM
   • From the Edit menu select Client Preferences
   
   
   
   
2. The Preferences Editor screen will open. Click the General tab.
   • Click the General tab.
   • In the Node Name field enter your TSM Node Name. This information will have been given to you by the ITServices TSM Administrator. Note: This may be the same as your NetID, but not necessarily.
   • Log File Name is the location on your computer where the error logs are stored. If you have a problem with TSM, this error log could provide information. To view the log, use the Console application located in the Applications/Utilities folder on all Macintosh computers.
   • Prune old entries will prevent your log file from growning unmanageable and consuming disk space. 14 days of old messages should be enough to troubleshoot problems.
   • From the menu select Backup
