Yes, there are instructions nominally for Windows Server 2016 and Windows 10, that will also work for Windows Server 2019. Please refer to the "launching pad" page (linked below) which has links to separate documents for (a) best practices for backing up Windows, (b) creating WinPE recovery media, and (c) Using the WinPE recovery media to do the restore.
A slight improvement on usability, or so I think, in that a script for creating the WinPE build media is provided with (b). See the information at the bottom of the "Before you begin" section of that page. The "script" actually consists of two Windows batch files: the main script and an "auxiliary" script (I call it an "exit") that is called by the main script where you can add code to inject custom drivers into the image. Please be sure to read the top of the script that explains how to use it, beginning with the comment "READ ME CAREFULLY", along with the example code you can use as a model. Note: Make sure the two scrips mentioned above are located in the same directory. The scripts must also reside on the same drive as the downloaded client package (though the package does not have to be in the same directory as the scripts). This latter issue is a bug that I plan to fix in a forthcoming update. https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/wikis/home?lang=en#!/wiki/Tivoli%20Storage%20Manager/page/Guidelines%20for%20Backup%20and%20Recovery%20of%20Microsoft%20Windows%20Server%202016%20and%20Microsoft%20Windows%2010 Regards, Andy ____________________________________________________________________________ Andrew Raibeck | IBM Spectrum Protect Level 3 | stor...@us.ibm.com "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU> wrote on 2019-08-06 18:17:50: > From: Tom Alverson <tom.alver...@gmail.com> > To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU > Date: 2019-08-06 18:18 > Subject: [EXTERNAL] Re: What is 8.1.8.1-TIV-TSMHSM-WinX64 vs 8.1.7. > 1-TIV-TSMBAC-WinX64 > Sent by: "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU> > > Are there any updates to the bare metal recovery process detailed here > (which only mentions 2012, not 2016 or 2019) > > https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/wikis/home?lang=en#!/ > wiki/Tivoli%20Storage%20Manager/page/Best%20Practices%20for% > 20Recovering%20Windows%20Server%202012%20and%20Windows%208 > > Also are there any plans for something better?
