Sorry for the vague post earlier. The Red Book number is SG24-4880. It's an
oldie but goodie. Oddly enough (or maybe not), TKG called me after my
original post on this subject and we are going to give this product another
shot. I agree with you that Tivoli should have never dropped this
capability.
I think the bulk of the problems we experienced were due to the fact that
we did not want the help of TKG to install this product, since we have to
build this from the ground up at our recovery site and would like to have
an intimate understanding of the product and how it is installed. First
level support at TKG was pretty useless, yet they do have some very quality
folks in 2nd tier support.
To clarify, our server is run on AIX and we need to have a BMR process for
our NT servers. It needs to be a quick and intuitive process, as we are
only getting 3 days of testing time at our DR site.
Hope this helped ... I'll keep all of you posted with our second go at this
product ...

Steve,
When did you use BMR? I understand NT support is rather new (and I am
interested in this enhancement as well as existing platforms). Could you be
more specific about when and what problems you encountered. Could you be
more specific about your "NT in an AIX environment"? Did The Kernel Group
provide support? What was your impression? Are you still using it?
It's too bad that Tivoli dropped this concept and I am very glad that The
Kernel Group has kept our hopes for this Disaster Recovery tool alive.
Well,
not only DR, but everyday recovery as well. ... just me $.02

It's awful. We had to rewrite 70% of the batch files to simply get the
product to work with NT in an AIX environment. Go download the DR redbook
and make your own process. It will work ... as opposed to this product.

We're using it on AIX clients and planning to use it for Windows clients.
It's really slick.
