You can install the client in the virtual machine OS, then it functions like
normal backing up the filesystems. You can also install
the TSM client on the Vmware console using a Linux client. Then if you take the
virtual machine(s) down you can backup the physical
VMDK file that makes up the virt
Ok, we have got dissimilar hardware recovery down packed. So long as you use a
slip streamed Windows Install CD and you run through the "In-Place" upgrade you
shouldn't have any problems with dissimilar hardware because the process
completely re-enumerates the hardware.

Our biggest driver was DR.
Getting some of our app and AD servers restored & running on dissimilar
