The first phase of dissmililar machine restore is done. Release 3.1 is out and will support restore to dissimilar disks. This is phase one. More to come. I would like to point out that TKG's BMR is the only product that can do this on AIX, Solaris, HP-UX, and NT. I have set up many BMR Boot Servers. In my opinion, it is just as easy as doing a mksysb, but it is a one time effort. Mksysb's have to be done over and over again.
