TSSC automated FTP offload of configuration data

System: IBM TS3000 System Console

The IBM TSSC is being used as call home device and for event logging of TS3500 events from multiple libraries.

An audit requirement is that we are making regular backups of the TSSC configuration information and that we monitor these for success.

The current functionality is not sufficient to support this requirement.

    No updates planned for TS3500. This is scriptable via the CLI in TS4500.
