BMR looks like a decent product, but the one thing that I didn't see
any mention of in the product documentation is what happens if you have
a total data center disaster?  Everything assumes that you have the BMR
server on the network and working correctly, but in a data center
disaster that server would be gone as well.  Disaster Recovery Manager
would take care of restoring your TSM server, but how does one handle
recovering the BMR server?  Anyone experienced this?
