Looks like there is no easy way to do a restore to different hardware. What
happens if there is a disaster and you cannot get your 5 year old server
from anywhere. How is TSM going to restore to that server! To me it looks
like TSM is very good at taking backups and managing them but in the restore
department I have serious doubts.
How are other people doing their disaster recovery exercises? Do you keep
identical hardware at DR site also? What happens if you need a faster
server?
There have been references to Redbook SG24-4880, however, this redbook tells
you how to do a restore on identical hardware only.

All comments are welcome..
