That's actually true of TSM, too. Been through that (no T-Shirt).

Later, the university's data center discontinued it in favour of a state-wide project based on Commvault. Where you sort of join a botnet and get a login for a web-based console on the C&C server. And us wanting a (textual) log file of what was backed up/restored was regarded as weird.

We're using Borg now.
