First of all, you might want to make it a little more obvious to the list readers here at ADSM-L, Christian, that you work for Christie, which sells CBMR. You're not exactly a disinterested party to this discussion. Second, you CAN use TSM all by itself to restore a system to dissimilar hardware. As I said earlier, it takes some up-front work to set up such a process, but I've done it on many systems for customers. The relative speeds with which you restore a system with or without CBMR doesn't make that much difference, since the majority of the time is spent waiting for data to move from tape to disk. -- Mark Stapleton CDW Berbee System engineer 7145 Boone Avenue North, Suite 140 Brooklyn Park MN 55428-1511 763-592-5963 www.berbee.com
