generally during DR you go back to like platforrms ya know though... since the other box is a "new" server, give it a try...
on like systems, I've performed tsm db backups to flat files, ftp'ed them over to a different tsm server, perormed a restore db and things ran just fine can't say what luck you may or may not have in going across different operating systems but it is worth a try...

Is the only way to do this export/inport? Why can't the database be dumped and loaded on a new server? Isn't that what happens for DR? Why can't I just pretend I am doing a DR to my new server and leave the data there? This must be a stupid idea since it is not in the FAQ, but I don't see why at the moment. I am changing the type of platform....moving from a Solaris system to a AIX system. Thanks for any insights into this! leonard
