Due to the fact that we are moving to a new location and will not have access to our ATL system, we are looking at changing the way we do backups. In this new building we will have a new TSM server and a 3590 E11 attached to it. As I said before, we will not have access to our existing TSM Server nor the ATL library. We will have about 65 Clients to backup nightly. I know that the first backup I run on the new server will backup everything. We are looking into doing incremental backup Monday-Thursday and either a Selective or Archive on a weekly starting on Fridays and letting it run for how ever long it takes. And rotating the Incremental tapes every 5 weeks. My question is that if we do a Selective or Archive backup, we'll we be able to use those tapes Plus the incremental to recover a server including the OS. Will the Selective or Archive backup the System State information? if the answer to the two questions is no, then what is my other options.
