We were advised the best option for TSM and disaster recovery at a

We have about 6 physical and 12 VMware Windows guests to restore
from tape.

I'm quite a fan of Cristie's TMBR, because Cristie has great features
for restoring to dissimilar hardware, using your normal TSM backups.
OTOH, FastBack might give you faster recovery to a functional point.
In VMware environments, I like STORServer's VCB agent a lot (I'm
biassed though!).

Please advise.
