It's actually quite easy. As long as you are installing and not deploying your software, you should be able to select the path that you want to install into. The default is something like c:\program files\tivoli\tsm....you just need to change it to something like c: \temptsm\tsm. This will put all the objects there and should simplify both the registry and object restore portion of your BMR.
You didn't by chance reboot between the data restore and the registry restore? If so, then that would certainly create problems. I know when you restore the c:\ completely that the OS will say you need to reboot, but you actually have to say no and then restore your system objects, then reboot.

Try the same thing only this time install the OS and TSM (to a different directory) from scratch. Then do the TSM recovery procedures and see if that alleviates the problems.

I then connect to TSM and attempt the restore of C: and System Objects.

Even if I was recovering to like hardware, but my systems have always seemed fine when I was done. When you do this, do you install TSM into an alternate directory? If you don't install to an alternate source, then the registry keys for TSM will pound on itself and you may get unpredictable results. Although I have gotten errors even when I think I do everything right.

I restore the boot/system files successfully ( C: Drive). Then it asks me to reboot and I say NO. I then attempt to restore the entire System Object. Sometimes it works... Other times it begins to restore but then disappears in the middle. I don't get a confirmation that it was completed. Sometimes I can reboot and try the restore of the System Objects again and it works, other times it doesn't. Has anyone had similar problems?
