TSM can be used as a BMR tool, but it does require some scripting, particularly if you have clients aside from Windows 2000/2003.
The available BMR packages that I'm aware of either perform poorly, or are rather expensive. Why buy additional software when TSM can do the work, with a little before-DR work on the part of the administrator? -- Mark Stapleton CDW Berbee System engineer 7145 Boone Avenue North, Suite 140 Brooklyn Park MN 55428-1511 763-592-5963 www.berbee.com > -----Original Message----- > From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of > Bradberry, Kenneth > Sent: Tuesday, February 05, 2008 10:11 AM > To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU > Subject: [ADSM-L] TSM Windows Bare Metal Recovery options > > Hello, we have been looking for an agent that can provide Windows BMR > and that integrates nicely into TSM.
