I've tried a couple of times using TSM 6.1.2 on Windows, and found it
impossible to get the database to start. I tried also with TSM 6.1.3 on Linux
and had more success, but couldn't tell if that was because I'd done something
right or if it was just that my 'nodeb' was simply a clone of my 'nodea' - the
Windows trial was on two completely different machines.
I'd love to hear if someone's had this going in a real live production scenario
yet - so far I've been making backups to a file devclass and replicating that
using hardware, then restoring at the DR location. It's reliable at the cost
of recovery time.
