More than "a little strange." It simply won't work at all.
Well, it depends on what they mean by "recovering." If you already have the x86 equivalent of the app environment set up, and all you're recovering is your data (or, possibly, some byte- compiled applications--I mean, isn't that the promise of Java? "Write once, crash anywhere") then, yeah, it could work. Or, if you were really studly and had some way to recover your DASD into Herc-compatible CKD files, then you could run your Linux guest under Hercules (not likely, though, since you most likely have QDIO devices coupled to a guest LAN or a Vswitch and Herc doesn't do QDIO natively yet) on an x86 box. Or Flex/ES plus a FlexCub would let you do this directly, although in that case I'd argue that you aren't *really* recovering to x86, you're recovering to s390/zSeries in a funny-looking box. However, yeah, the naive approach is certainly doomed.
