Hello Eric,
We are using CBMR (without TSM initially) and TBMR now for many years without
any problems. We have restored a few production servers after real crash
including dissimilar configuration.
After moving to VMware there is no problem at all. We have just uploaded TBMR
ISO images to all VMware hosts to speed up recovery (without CD-ROM drive).
Support from UK is very good. Licenses and support are not free, but they have
some specially license policy for VMware to reduce cost in comparison with
standalone licenses.
In addition, they have presented Recovery Simulator recently. It allows to
simulate recovery in VMware environment (backup testing without touching real
VMs) for most valuable VMs or keep it scheduled at all.
I have no experience with FastBack and couldn't compare products.
Kindest regards,

Subject: [ADSM-L] Cristie BMR vs Tivoli Fastback for BMR
Fellow TSM-ers,
We are looking for a bare machine recovery, primarily for Windows and Linux
servers. There seem to be two main products on the market when using TSM:
Tivoli's own Fastback for Bare Machine Recovery and the third party product
Cristie Bare Machine Recovery which seems to be tightly integrated into TSM.
As far as I can judge from reading documentation, some YouTube video's and a
live demo of the Cristie product the latter seems a lot easier to use and
implement, but I haven't had any hands-on experience of course.
Has anyone compared the two products, maybe in a live situation? What are their
pros and cons?
Thank you very much for you reply in advance!
Kind regards,
Eric van Loon
