Looks like there is no easy way to do a restore to different hardware. What happens if there is a disaster and you cannot get your 5 year old server from anywhere. How is TSM going to restore to that server! To me it looks like TSM is very good at taking backups and managing them but in the restore department I have serious doubts. How are other people doing their disaster recovery exercises? Do you keep identical hardware at DR site also? What happens if you need a faster server? There have been references to Redbook SG24-4880, however, this redbook tells you how to do a restore on identical hardware only.
