You'll hear, I'm sure from our friends and colleagues on this list, that
this is not one of the functions of TSM. Sure, you can back up all the files
and assume you'd get a working system back, but you can't guarantee it.

TKG's bare metal restore tool (BMR) is probably what you are looking for to
keep the whole thing as simple as possible at restore time.

Disaster recovery manager is more focused on bringing back TSM servers from
sudden death, although you can include client systems and information such
as what recovery media you'd use to install the OS.

Let's see what the next few threads say..
