Generally what we do is: 1 - Build base W2K system from same service pack level as the system we're restoring, and use the same hostname and IP address 2 - Install TSM client 3 - Restore all drives and systemobject - Use "replace all" and do NOT reboot when prompted following the restore 4 - Boot from the W2K install CD and start the setup routine; select Install and then Repair - if Windows doesn't autodetect your SCSI or RAID card you'll need a diskette with the drivers and will need to watch for the "press the F6 key" prompt when setup starts. 5 - Let the setup routine redetect hardware and reinstall the system files 6 - Hope it worked. Generally this is not a problem but we've had some difficulties with AD systems that we've not quite worked out.
Hope this helps. As always, your mileage may vary.....

But do anyone know how to do the same to a system with different hardware? I've tried it but haven't succeded. The system don't boot but give me a system error. 1. Have anyone done such a restore to a diffrent hardware system? 2. Does anyone know if ITSM will support such in the future. I know that veritas have a product that accomplish this.
