The product looks intriguing. The paper did not address my biggest problem, restoring the Windows OS. Our issue is verifying the SP level of the server prior to restore. We have had very little success restoring the OS if the target OS is a different SP level than the backup.

We are working on a way to prevent such failures. (Our whitepaper is at http://www.tsmworks.com/downloads/art-whitepaper.pdf, if you're curious.) Your real-world anecdotes are helpful! Stories like: * "we found that the node had not been backed up in 3 months" * "the user's exclude list had excluded the file he needed" * "the tape volume TSM needed was missing / damaged / etc." are what we're looking for. Got some? Respond here, mail me, call me - all good. Thanks! ----------- Lindsay Morris Principal TSMworks, Inc.
