We've tested BMR with TSM and ASR on Win2003 server, works fine. It's pretty cool, because TSM backs up the ASR info anytime you do a regular backup. You don't need to have any CD's or floppies created in advance; TSM is storing the needed info for you.
Just follow the instructions in the TSM client manual. And follow them EXACTLY; when it says label the CD TSMCLI, for example, DO IT, don't get creative, or it won't work. And your server has to be at least 5.2. We tested with the 5.2.3.0 client; you would probably be better off using a more recent one, there are later patches that address some issues with System State. And we didn't test a domain controller with Active Directory, just the restore of a basic file server.
