Hi!

I could test it with success on a testserver installed 
on common PC-Hardware, but some effort was necessary to document one
specific
error I had for the cristie custommmer support. 
They were cooperative and delivered a patch and voila - it works fine.

I will test it on IBM 345 and on IBM Thinkpad T30 as well, maybe next week
or so.

My feeleing is it is OK but not so solid yet as TSM client itself,
restore testing is a must (but this anyway the case with backup products).

Also I saw some problems when trying to play around with different 
configuration settings - with defaults used 
everywhere where possible it was quite OK.

I will use it for tested environments, 
which is a combination of certain hardware, 
operating system & Servicepack, 
applications installed on the top of it, 
and version of TSM client.

Used in conclusion with either TSM´s own "backup systemstate"
or with NTBACKUP I have 
(1) fair chance of very comfortable restore using pc-bax
and (2) fair security of manual restore by windows install and TSM/NtBackup
restore
where (2) causes almost no additional costs in any terms.

Do not forget, - what it does 
is a windows 2000 operating system restore, which is not supported by
microsoft,
so there cannot be a gurantee for succesfull restore even without crashes.

conclusion: 
it is a disaster-time-time-saver tool for me, once it works it works like
breeze ;-8)

Hi !

Are there anyone of you that have used/tested Cristies BMR, PC-Bax on w2k
servers with TSM with any success? (no errorrs what so ever... it IS quite
annoying when the linux shell CBMR use crash like 2 to 3 times under a
restore process... well it behaves like a windows machine....)

Are you pleased with the functionality and documentation of that product?
