Hi Tim,

when I told the Tivoli TSM Product Manager for EMEA back in early 2000 that
_EVERY_ customer asks me about "And what about a networked based disaster
recovery with TSM?" and that I had to answer "Yes, you can restore your
systems with TSM but it requires some manual preparations and
interventions" he looked at me in such a lack of understanding that I asked
myself "On which planet does Tivoli live?" :-/

This is one of the greatest weaknesses of TSM (beside the poor
reporting...) and IBM/Tivoli hasn't been able to bring its own solid and
_useable_ DR tool to market in the last 10 years.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
Met vriendelijke groeten,
With best regards,
Bien amicalement,

CU/2,
                Dirk Billerbeck

Another marketing slip?:
Tivoli used to provide Tivoli Data protection for workgroups (good for bare
metal recovery for NT, windows, from
what I heard).  This product went unsupported....THEN the pitch for bare
metal recovery was to use/buy...
a pgm/product from The Kernel Group. From what I understand TKG was bought
out by Veritas.
SO, you have a Tivoli web site pitching a product that a competitor owns?
marketing slip....
there's a void here that Tivoli should fill, and fast! BARE METAL RECOVERY
I sure would like to here what the marketing folks would have to say about
this one as well....!!!

Thanks Tim Williams
