TBMR

It is used throughout the organization. It helps us disaster recovery readiness. It also helps to recovery so many servers due to hardware issues or application issues. We have recovered over a few hundred servers over time. It includes Windows and Linux. Even we converted from physical to virtual and virtual to physical. It is really a great product. We are happy to invest in this product. Over time we have increased the number of licenses also.

During the Sandy storm, I was told to get over 200 servers ready in case we declare a disaster. I was able to spin over 190 servers in five days. I recovered servers using TBMR recovery. I restored each server using TBMR. After the server was restored at Sungard, I powered on the server without NIC to prevent a production issue with duplicate a name or IP. I validated each server after restore to make sure OS is working correctly and all data had been restored. I did not restore images due to the size of storage. Overall, it worked out and we were ready before Sandy struck. We did not go into disaster mode, but my management was impressed that this product worked as described.
