Hi,

I would like to crash the server (OS and data)
The problem I have is that If a server crash ... the only way to put it
back up is to change disk ... re-install windows .. install TSM client ...
restore windows and files by overwriting all files...
It a long process...
I heard of the bare metal/machine recovery ... but I dont know if it's
good, fast to restore and most of all how does it work ...

Any documentations ...
or any step by step procedure ...

thanks

Luc,

We will need a little more info.  The disk you are going to "crash", is
it the OS drive, non-OS but has installed applications or a data only
drive.  This will make a great deal of difference as to how you attack
this problem.  Also, when you say bring it up from scratch do you mean
from no OS at all.  We generally cal the a BMR (bare metal/machine
recovery).  Please let us know and we will try to help you out.
