I'm a big fan of the Cristie's BMR for Windows and RedHat Linux.

They are pretty slick.  I can restore a box from scratch in under 10 minutes.

My only caveat for "dislike hardware" restores is using newer hardware.  
i.e. their driver support for older hardware.

We had problems getting older drivers to work correctly - such as old "HP LH3 
Netservers."

But, with our newer IBM xSeries - very smooth...

Troy

What I meant was, to a different TYPE machine, i.e., disklike hardware,
not just a different machine.

The Christie Bare Metal add-on product supports restoring Windows to
unlike hardware.

you said that windows does not support restoring a registry to
a different machine, but isnt that what happens when i follow
the instructions in the "Disaster Recovery Strategies with TSM"
pdf.

is tsm ever going to support restoring to dislike hardware ?

is there documentation that describes the differences
between "the same machine after a hard drive
failure" and  "restoring to different hardware at a hot site"

i am attempting the later

IT's not a TSM issue, it's a Windows issue.
Microsoft does not support restoring a registry to a different machine.

That being said, they used to have a procedure in the knowledge base
that you can try.
Check there.

How you test BMR, depends on what you are trying to do.
You need different procedures for different possible disasters;

Procedures needed to restore back to the same machine after a hard drive
failure, are simpler than the case where you are restoring to different
hardware at a hot site.

Is there still a requirement to restore a TSM client to the same server
hardware type. Can the restored
server be somewhat different.

How does everyone else test the TSM BMR procedures.
