Hi Mark,
But when you do a BMR with TSM only you don't have all the flexibility with 
Dissimilar Hardware and the speed that CBMR have to recovery the OS.
Of course you can do a Image backup with TSM but in that case you got so much 
extra data backed up and with a site with 50 servers or more it will be 
probably too much duplicated data.

Kenneth, if I know that you had problem with CBMR I could be at your office 
today. I have been in Dearborn the last couple of days.
If you want to I will be back here in MI around march again and I can pop by 
and see what problems you had with CBMR.
I have some really good BPs here in Detroit that I can recommend that can help 
you out with BMR with TSM.


Best Regards / Med Vänlig Hälsning

TSM can be used as a BMR tool, but it does require some scripting,
particularly if you have clients aside from Windows 2000/2003.

The available BMR packages that I'm aware of either perform poorly, or
are rather expensive. Why buy additional software when TSM can do the
work, with a little before-DR work on the part of the administrator?
