Last time I checked TSM WORKED just fine. I'm sure if IBM wanted a BMR product they would have one. I'm sure if IBM wanted to make a BMR product for HP they could, but why would they? The mksysb process is a competitive advantage for AIX.
Why should IBM make a BMR product for windows? Why doesn't microsoft? just my 2 cents.

It seems we're all held hostage to purchase expensive products that have this capability. Unfortunately in times like this we've all had our budgets cut, at least I have, and would like our software vendors, IBM/TIVOLI in this case, to make their products more robust. After all we do send them maintenance money for software updates and expect the product to get better. I'm just wondering how serious IBM is about getting TSM to "WORK" with the various OS software vendors, i.e. Microsoft, HP, Compaq, Sun and the like, to find out what it takes to get it's product to do bare metal restores. If TKG could make it work why can't IBM? Or don't these guys talk to each other? My little rant for the day!!!!!
