DR is a very complex process.( i only tried to answer your question about a command ) As for DR, the Incremental bakup is only backuping files that have been modified ( contents, security masks , location etc ...) It backs up the data ( and the databases if you have database agents ) But in order to implement a solution that is valid for DR you need also to recover the operating system, the network connection and the TSM client. If you want to use a full TSM solution you will need an extra "plugin" or addon code. For example CBMR ( Christie Bare Metal Restore) is quite efficient. in ( very) short it will allow the server to have a mini OS with a mini TSM driver system and a tp link that will recover the original OS ( linux, Windows server or else) and finally you will recover your data. I heard that new versions of TSM could include such facility soon or later but i am not sure because i do not follw announcement closely (and we have been using CBMR for years).
