The System Preparation Tool (Sysprep) is a Windows tool to automate the
successful deployment of Microsoft Windows. Sysprep is a tool that is
designed for system administrators, Original Equipment Manufacturers
(OEMs), and others who must automatically deploy the Windows operating
system on multiple computers. After you perform the initial setup steps on
a single computer, you can run the Sysprep tool to prepare the sample
computer for cloning or use it as a backup on static machines.
Here you can learn more about sysprep, but basicly it is just a microsoft
thing that has nothing what so ever to do with TSM.

when you talk about capacity of system drive is that the assigend capacity
or the data that you are using?. at least if you where to enter the
command prompt and run this command from the root "c:\" dir /S you should
see how mutch data you have acculy in use on your system. and that data
should be somewhere around the bytes transfered from the tsm report. If
not, then your are missing a exclude somewhere either in the dsm.opt file
or in the client options sets. You might alsow be getting failed backups
on some files.
But my guess it that this is not your problem. you might be geting errors
on some dll that are in use when you are running backups, either way there
is no way to tell unless we see more details on the error message you
recive when you try to open office.
Hope this helps

Re: [ADSM-L] Image backup
Thank for your help,
I have some questions to you
>>>>>if you plan on using this i do not recomend useing it on mission
critical machines, this is good for low profile machines, desktop machines
and static servers. but then again sysprep is better in solving that.
What is SYSPREP ?
I also implement BMR as "Disaster Rescovery Strategies" redbook guide.
Server : TSM 5.3 server
Client : TSM 5.3, OS : Win2k, database SQL2000, and some apllication
I full backup system drive (C:) and the other drives. Although, capacity
of
system drive is 4.8 GB, but when I full backup, I receive a report : "Byte
tranferred : 3.7 GB". I only exclude some files or directories as
Temporary
Internet Files, Recycled, Recycler.
When I finish restoring process, I boot machine again and start Microsoft
Office or Outlook, I always receive a requirement installing Office or
Outlook.
Therefore, I think the error causes above backup process.
Nghiatd,

Nghiatd.
you can take a phicial drive on annother machine an plug it in with a
running system, you do not need to format it. just plug it in and make the
OS see the logical device. then you can restore the image on that device,
then you need to put that drive phisically on the failed machine, and make
the machine boot on that device.
Or you can just have 2 logical partitions on your machine one that you
boot up and then you restore the image on the logical partition that is
not in use by the OS. after that you need to modify the startup sequence
to boot from the restored partition.
Be Warned! the system image may not be consistent across components (such
as Active Directory). Some of these components can be configured to use
different volumes where parts are installed on the system drive and others
to non-system volumes.
but basicly there is NO simple BMR on Win2k or Win2003 for that matter,
if you plan on using this i do not recomend useing it on mission critical
machines, this is good for low profile machines, desktop machines and
static servers. but then again sysprep is better in solving that.
hope this helps.

[ADSM-L] Image backup
Hi all,
I want to implement BMR for Win2K. I backup C:\ drive ( system dirve) with
image type.
Howerver, TSM help wrote : "If you created an image of the system drive,
you cannot restore the image to the same location because the client
cannot have an exclusive lock of the system drive."
Therefore, If I want restore system drive with image backup, I have to
restore image backup system to other location and copy them to the
original location. Can I do that ?
Thank a lot,
Nghiatd
