Hi Tim,
when I told the Tivoli TSM Product Manager for EMEA back in early 2000 that
_EVERY_ customer asks me about "And what about a networked based disaster
recovery with TSM?" and that I had to answer "Yes, you can restore your
systems with TSM but it requires some manual preparations and
interventions" he looked at me in such a lack of understanding that I asked
myself "On which planet does Tivoli live?" :-/
This is one of the greatest weaknesses of TSM (beside the poor
reporting...) and IBM/Tivoli hasn't been able to bring its own solid and
_useable_ DR tool to market in the last 10 years.
Mit freundlichen Gr��en,
Met vriendelijke groeten,
With best regards,
Bien amicalement,

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
I echo Kelly!
Another marketing slip?:
Tivoli used to provide Tivoli Data protection for workgroups (good for bare
metal recovery for NT, windows, from
what I heard). This product went unsupported....THEN the pitch for bare
metal recovery was to use/buy...
a pgm/product from The Kernel Group. From what I understand TKG was bought
out by Veritas.
SO, you have a Tivoli web site pitching a product that a competitor owns?
marketing slip....
there's a void here that Tivoli should fill, and fast! BARE METAL RECOVERY
I sure would like to here what the marketing folks would have to say about
this one as well....!!!
Thanks Tim Williams

Where's the Air Support?
http://www.pcmag.com/article/0,2997,s=1470&a=22041,00.asp
Why in the world would an article like this appear and not have a single
mention of TSM? Where is the crack marketing team? We need desperately to
have air support on an issue like this. The IBM TSM folks who listen hear
should send this up the pipe to the marketing folks. It is very hard to
sell TSM when the only thing potential customers have heard about is full
backups!
This kept me up all night. Actually, it wasn't this it was some damn
library/TSM interaction that I was trying to invent. I eat, sleep and
breath TSM. Can I have some help please?
Thanks,
