Hi,

at http://www.mkcdrec.org/ you can find such a tool that restores data 
using the TSM client.
I haven't done it myself but know an IBMer and a company who have more
knowledge than I have.

Betreff: Re: [ADSM-L] Linux BMR


Eric,

In our shop we made a custom  bootable cd with linux and the tsm client 
on it. We compiled the kernel on this cd with as many drivers as 
possible to support a lot of hardware. When we do a bmr of a linux 
system we boot from this cd, create the needed partitions and 
filesystems and mount them on a temp. mountpoint. Then we restore these 
filesystems from TSM. Then  you can chroot into the new environment to 
install the bootloader and change any mount options and so on. (if you 
go from softwareraid to scsi for example). You can also recreate your 
initrd file here to include any modules you need for boot.
I also heard from people who use a "standard" linux boot cd (like 
knoppix) and then nfs mount a filesystem with the TSM clients binaries 
in it.

We have used this method many times and it has been proven to work well, 
we also use it to migrate linux boxes to vmware.

Hope this helps

Met vriendelijke groeten
