Perhaphs AIX as NIM, MKSYSB and SYSBACK, and HP has ignite, and SUN as
there own to(isn't that NIM?)
But none of these will restore the machine to "current state". They require
that you make for example a full MKSYSB.
Bare Metal Restore from TKG is the only application that will do a "current
state" restore.
