We have a large installed base of Mac systems here and we are unable to use the Tivoli OSX client because it still requires that the users be logged in in order to receive a scheduled backup. This completely defeats the security features incorporated into the OSX product. I have submitted a request to Tivoli support pleading with them to address this issue because we are now faced with the choice of scrapping Tivoli altogether and replacing it with another product that is not an enterprise solution; or keep Tivoli and face the prospect of a gaping security hole and the issues Tivoli has with restoring files with the wrong permissions. My management is giving me very strong indications that we may have to dump Tivoli at all our centers if this issue is not addressed. Personally, I really like the tivoli product and am hoping that these items are addressed.
