I  agree.

Just use the AIX install cd/dvd and follow the
instructions to reload via sysback.

We use a cronjob to backup our machines
via sysback on a weekly basis. Then use the client to
backup data daily.

Re: [ADSM-L] TSM for SYS-back & Recovery!!






Sysback works great and is cheap, too! Not only can you create backups
and boot and restore from standalone media, but it also integrates
with your NIM server. And if THAT's not enough for a posting on a TSM
listserv, you can send your sysback backups to TSM to store, and
restore from there, too.

When you boot to restore (either from your sysback-enabled NIM server
or your standalone floppy/DVD/tape), you are presented with a menu
that not only allows you to Just Restore your system (again either
from TSM, standalone media, or NIM), but also lets you make changes to
the LVM structure when you do.

Dunno why more AIX shops don't use it; it's been a hit wherever I've seen
it.
