Does anyone know if Tivoli is working on a product that will support BMR on windows systems. I know Cristie can be used but I don't want another third party product and ASR recovery on Win2003 takes
isn't that what the ASR things are for in windows backups? Not as advanced as cristie, but works on similar hardware I'd think. I guess it's somewhere in the fine manual :) -- Met vriendelijke groete
Huge pain in the tush, for no return. Other folks have that space very nicely explored, and BMR for [platform A] just encourages folks to ask for it for the rest of them. - Allen S. Rout

Well, it's also a big pain in the tush for me to explain to mgmt why I'm budgeting for a BMR tool for our 600 Windows servers even though we already hand over a boatload of $$ to Tivoli for a backup

Hm. I think you should go back and figure out WHY you are having trouble with ASR "taking forever". It does exactly what you ask - lets you boot from a CD, and restore from TSM. The way it is coded t

I'm I've talked about this on this list more than a few times, but I'll repeat it for our new folks: ** You can use TSM to perform bare-metal restores of Windows machines, to similar and to dissimila

from Keep in mind also that ASR requires a DHCP server be available on the segment you're working on. Most server room admins are allergic to DHCP servers in their server environment (for security re

I don't know what method you are for a BMR recovery but I have used what most people in this list suggest. I simply reinstall the OS (from and install cd or image using something like altiris or nlit
I've heard some success building a BartPE CD with TSM plugin and use that as BMR replacement on Windows ... google search BartPE and TSM and see what you can find. Tim. --BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE-- Versio

Hi..... Has anyone performed a BMR on IBM X346/X3650, etc. new IBM Intel servers?? We have had some problems with ASR on these types of Intel servers. The network ports use a driver which is not in t

Going to www.ibm.com and searching on "TSM BMR Windows" I get a number of hits. The third one is a Redbook for XP and W2003: http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/redp3703.html?Open Hit 5 is for W2K

Rich, The problem you have with Altiris is that it cost you high maintenance to have that solutions for BMR. If you don't keep you Altiris image up to date with the same HotFix/Service Pack level as

Hi Mark, Don't forget that you also need to have a unique FLOPPY involved for each server. How many wants to manage x hundreds of floppies? Mark, how can you make dissimilar hardware with your PE CD?
First of all, I have successfully built a BartPE CD including decent TSM client version which is deployed on our servers. That's actually easy. You can decide which scsi controller and network contro
