Just a thought, and I'm sure you'll already have been over this, but do the recovery scenarios for which you employ TSM for protection require the SystemState etc to be backed-up/recovered? In some shops OS instability/corruption/data loss is remedied by a rapid re-image from a build server rather

Tivoli Development utilizes the APIs provided by the vendors of other software, so as to best fulfill the TSM role of data assurance and coherency. Such APIs may result in side effects resembling those of incessant designer drug commercials, but are rather unavoidable nonetheless. The real probl

Wanda, My calculations Current Windows = 3 Gb in c$; new Windows = 15 Gb in c$. That's installed out of the box. If we collocated by filespace, the $c tape would hold about 250 clients from current Windows, and about 50 clients from new Windows. Current Windows = 16k files so 16k entries in

I agree, that restoring SYSTEMSTATE is very exotic action, but it cab be used anyway for some cases. Usually SYSTEMSTATE backups are used for disaster recovery of Windows server. In this case, you need TSM backups and TBMR software from Cristie. Im my opinion, it is perfect software and we are us
