Subject: Re: Bare Metal Restore Product fro the Kernel Group
Shawn,
He have both UNIX and NT servers running in our shop. We have both
NT and HP-UX TSM servers, so it should not be a problem. I would like to
get a contact that can give us some good technical insight into the product
and how well it works.
I was even wondering if you can use it to quickly create a recovery
partition, load a basic OS and TSM clients, and then run a normal full TSM
recovery.
thanks,
mark
