We routinely do BMR on AIX and Linux boxes to unlike machines with
success.

Our LAN guys rebuild WIndows and Netware boxes from the install media
and then restore data volumes.

>What kind of system are you concerned with?

I'm looking for some basic info on all platforms anyone has experience
with,
Windows being the biggest concern. After hearing some remarks this
morning
in a meeting concerning bringing back a server from scratch, and how
long it
took, I'm flabbergasted. Then again nobody called me to ask for help
either.

To add to this are there any issues anyone is aware of for servers that
have
been virtualized but still use TSM for their backups? Would the process
be
the same?

Thanks,
