We're using MKCDREC http://mkcdrec.sourceforge.net/  It suits our
purposes (identical Dell Servers running RedHat) well.

It creates an .iso file which can be written to a bootable recovery CD
containing compressed copies of the filesystems you specify.
Filesystems are rebuilt by scripts run during the CD boot.  Lots of
flexibility, but you need to dig around and test to make sure you get
everything you need and to exclude what you don't need  By including the
TSM client directory, TSM can take over the restore once the OS is up
and running.
