Hi

Using TKG BareMetalRestore for TSM can do a fully automated restore of a
machine, and it's easy to use.

We have two customers running this, and a restore of a 20GB machine takes
aprox. 30-40 mins(depending on network and so on).

Best Regards

Hi *SM-ers

Rather than use TSM to backup systemobjects we are using NTBACKUP to backup
systemstate. This allows us to do a bare metal restore which TSM doesn't
support. However we appear to have no option but to backup systemobjects
with TSM because we feel much safer specifying all-local rather than using
specific drives in the domain statement. For machines utilising low speed
links it is impossible to get NTBACKUP's systemstate and TSM's
systemobjects
(at 220MB+ each) backed up and it is a huge waste of space to duplicate
these backups.
Does anyone have a way of either excluding systemstate from a backup or
automatically updating the domain statement to ensure that all local drives
are always backed up??



  regards,
