TSM is quite good in cross platfrom restores to be honest. Unix-to-unix works like charm (ignore osx ahem). Try to do it in NetWorker for example. Solaris to Linux to HP-UX to AIX or whatever - no way, not supported, you are screwed.

Really, I wish there was one code base for the dsmc client. As it is now, Windows-dsmc and unix-dsmc have different command-line options and other differences too. And the cross-platform problem with dsmc makes it hard for us to do what we do (ie, restore testing across all platforms). (Cross-platform problem means: from a WINDOWS dsmc client, you can successfully connect to a TSM server, and use "-asnode=some-UNIX-node" to masquerade as another node; but then "query filespaces" comes back empty. And vice versa. ) Just grumbling. We dealt with it.
