Has anyone else been receiving "ADSM offBeat" from IBM?
It is a newsletter which contains articles about ADSM
(written in a "hip" format).

I've been unable to find any documentation about the features
described in the following article.

The Spring 1998 version contains the following article:

ADSM's latest annoucement: A PAIR is One of a Kind

Now you've got a slick option to use boot diskettes to dump
a disk image of your hard drive to your ADSM server.  Then
if you need to recover your hard drive--magic!--you simply
insert these diskettes again, restore the disk image, and
reboot your system, and restore the rest of your files.
You can do this for any Intel-based work station (e.g. NT, ... ).
It don't get any better 'n that!  So What're you waiting for,
you owe yourself a look a DRM.



As I read this, you can create a stand-alone boot diskette which
backs up and restores a disk image.  We don't use DRM, but
this feature sounds very interesting.  However, in looking
through the DRM manuals I've seen nothing about this feature.

Anyone have any more info on this?
