Thanks. That is what I was looking for. I was searching the IBM WEB site for various other strings of data but not BMR.

From there, you can do TSM-related searches, review white papers, and get other information. Go to that page and in the text box labeled "Search our support knowledge base for IBM Tivoli Storage Manager", do a search on: BMR That will yield several results, including a link to a set of modified instructions for doing "bare metal restore of Windows machines". (Note that these are updates from the original instructions documented in the IBM redbook about deploying the TSM client in a Windows 2000 environment.)
