Right from the TKG/Veritas BMR web page: Statement of Intent VERITAS Software will honor TKG's remarketing agreement with IBM. VERITAS intends to provide support for and maintain BMR for TSM, including BMR support for the upcoming 5.1 version of TSM. Future roadmap plans for this product are under active discussion between VERITAS and IBM at this time, and will be communicated as soon as possible.
I have a client that is interested in BMR, but since Veritas bought them I don't feel comfortable pitching it. Don't know where it'll go.

W here's the Air Support? 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....!!!

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, Kelly J.
