Where: Online
What is the ISP Symposium?
It all began when some ADSM agnostics at the University of Karlsruhe organized and hosted the first three ADSM/TSM workshops.
Oxford University has organized and hosted five events called TSM Symposium, all held at St. Catherine's College, followed by the well-received TSM Symposium 2009 at the Grandhotel Petersberg near Bonn, the TSM Symposium 2011 Dresden, 2013 Berlin, 2015 Dresden, the ISP Symposium 2017 in Cologne, 2019 in Dresden and the latest ISP Symposium Online.
The symposium will cover a variety of Spectrum Protect-related topics, with a particular focus on leveraging innovation for new and changing capabilities expected from ISPs in the coming years.

Don’t miss the presentation by our colleagues Petra Kuhnert, Gerd Becker and Marco Vögele

Topic: I want to break out – transform inactive backup data into secure long-term archive data. / Fight the ransomware battle
When? Thursday, September 30th from 4:50 to 5:20
Part 1: How IBM Spectrum Protect servers use less storage space to store more critical data. Free your backup environment of old, inactive, and expensive data by moving it to a more cost-effective, efficient archiving solution.
Part 2: Blocky for TSM on a Windows system with Spectrum Protect. It is necessary to protect vulnerable objects from unwanted manipulation. These objects include databases, logs, and disk storage pools (disk, file, and container). Also important is the instance directory with its files such as dsmserv.opt, dsmkeydb, volhist, devconfig, recovery plan files, and DB backups. Blocky is a filter driver that prevents unauthorized access to these objects.
Petra Kuhnert joined Cristie Data GmbH in 2004. Initially working primarily in the technical department, she is currently a Senior Consultant specializing in storage and data management & protection – in addition to Cristie backup solutions such as TBMR and CBMR.
Marco Vögele has more than two decades of experience in the global data management and protection software business. He joined Cristie Data GmbH in 2, focusing on partner business in Europe and as an expert for the metadata-driven data management solution StrongLink.
Gerd Becker is Head of Solution Competence Center at Cristie Data GmbH, an IBM Business Partner in Germany. He has more than 25 years of experience with storage management products such as Tivoli Storage Manager. His areas of expertise include IBM Spectrum Protect implementation projects and on-site customer training. He has been chair of the Storage User Group Guide Share Europe (GSE) for more than 17 years and is a member of the committee that organizes the renowned TSM or ISP Symposium. He is the author of several IBM Redbooks and is a 2021 IBM Champion.
