I am not sure if I follow. Has Microsoft communicated a change in its
support for systemstate restores or is it just IBMs decision to not bother
with it anymore?

Hans, Del already stated that it (online system state restored) were
already against Microsofts best practice so I think the problem here is
with Microsoft not wanting you to do this rather than with IBM following
their guidelines.
I understand why IBM can't fully support something that they might
Hi Hans Chr.,
Microsoft has had this position since 2008, but IBM still tried to support
it due to customer requests. It led to too many situations where a system
was unstable after a restore.

Hi Del.
Why no prior warning? This was news to me until the 8.1 GA. We have several
environments where BMR is based on online systemstate restore(which works
very well) and now these customers say that they are ready to roll out
Win2016. Now there is a rush to look at solutions to this sudden prob
The worst part about this is the extremely poor setup IBM has for doing an
offline restore. They give you the instructions to create your own boot
disk. I read it over and could not believe IBM did not have a nice
pre-made recovery boot disk like Symantec, AVAMAR and Networker do. Are
there any
Let me ask a related question. Does the hypervisor world mitigate the need
for this? I am seeing fewer and fewer requests for this type of recovery
because of the capabilities of hypervisors and hypervisor-based backups.

About 20% of our servers are physical so that does not help there. Also we
back up almost all of our VM's with the conventional TSM client. We do
some TSM for VE backup (mainly for critical systems that we need to be able
to recover quickly) but the amount of effort to troubleshoot backup issues
I just installed 8.1.0.0 and the GUI tells me I need to install JRE 1.7.0
or greater. I have not rebooted yet. Is this correct? I did not see that
anywhere in the release or install notes. There is no way we want to
install java on all of our servers

I'm going to have to agree on this one from Tom, I also find it strange
that IBM doesn't just offer a recovery disk or at least a good tool so you
only have to pick the correct B/A client and it will create it for you.
Many of our clients are close to 100% virtualized but we also have around
15-20
