Cristie TBMR

TBMR is powerful, easy-to-use software that provides fast machine recovery direct from Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM®). TBMR allows users to recover their operating system directly from a TSM backup to similar or dissimilar hardware. It protects mission critical servers from the consequences of both physical damage and corruption of the operating system.

No additional backup is required and users can invoke the power of TSM to recover their operating system to any point in time that is provided by TSM. This reduces the data storage requirement as operating system files are not backed up twice.

Multiple servers can be recovered simultaneously and with the recovery process normally taking only a few minutes for each machine, a whole data centre can be recovered within just a few hours. Machine recovery only requires a standard TBMR boot CD or image and an IP connection to the TSM server. TBMR may also be used to migrate servers to new hardware.
