Unix bare metal

Hmm. It's been my naive understanding all this time that if
I slapped an OS and the ADSM client on a unix box, I could
restore the whole thing - now it looks like that's not the
case (or at least it's not that simple). ADSM won't restore
over open files, apparently (not that I really blame it), among
other things.
So - how _is_ everyone providing DRM on Unix machines? The straightforward
approach would be to dump / and /usr locally, but I'm trying to get
_away_ from having to do local dumps and having local tape drives - that's
the whole point of investing in ADSM. This is a heterogenous shop, so
one vendor's solution (NIM and mksysb for AIX, for example) isn't going to
work for everything...
Thanks.
