Thanks, Wanda -- Pretty well what I'd surmised.

For non-like hardware you will have to develop your own procedures as documented in the link above, or use Christie to get a vendor-supported restore to non-like hardware.

Times change, and we are now installing the SAP 'Portals' software - and it is not viable to do a clean install followed by content restore, so it's time to look at BMR. I *know* there are some good redbooks and redpieces out there, but I'm drawing a blank on my searches. Would someone please point me? Links appreciated, document number or name will be sufficient. My biggest concern in this process is non-like hardware restore. Not only can I guarantee the hardware won't match between the backup and the restore, I can state with a 90% confidence factore that the hardware manufacturer won't be the same.
