Include BMR in your Disaster Recovery plan simply by adding one of Cristie Software’s BMR bolt-on solutions. At Cristie Software we can enhance the capabilities of both IBM Tivoli Storage Manager and EMC NetWorker with solutions that add essential Bare Machine Recovery functionality.


With support for Windows, Solaris, Linux and AIX, you can make your IT DR plan simple and efficient and recover your data in less than 10 minutes, allowing you to reliably meet your RPO and RTOs. No specialist training or additional IT skills are required to operate the step-by-step wizard for data recovery.

Cristie Software BMR solutions don’t require extra servers to run and store backups as they use the existing backups generated from TSM and NetWorker so there is no duplication of data and no need for additional storage.

Our solutions offer benefits including recovery to dissimilar hardware, fully automated recoveries, server migration for Physical and/or Virtual machines, data backup and protection, and 24hr 365 days a year support for priority one issues.

Why do I need BMR for IBM Tivoli Storage Manager?

Bare Machine Recovery for IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM)
TBMR provides fast automated recovery for Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) users. In the event of a server failure, TBMR will recover the operating system and applications direct from the TSM backup. The recovery can be to the original or to new dissimilar hardware or to a virtual machine.

TBMR is unique in its ability to recover directly from TSM and without requiring any additional backup to be performed. This means that (unlike other BMR software products) TBMR consumes no additional storage or network bandwidth. TBMR also has the advantage of not requiring a separate backup application to be installed, managed and monitored.

Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) is IBM’s enterprise class backup and archiving software and TBMR works exclusively with TSM and is re-sold by IBM and its channel partners worldwide as the recommended BMR solution for TSM.

Why do I need an additional BMR product for NetWorker?


Bare Machine Recovery for EMC NetWorker
The Bare Metal Recovery feature that is included with NetWorker provides a good solution for Windows 2008/2008R2 and Windows 7 machines but does not currently support any other operating systems and has limited support for recovery to dissimilar hardware. Along with EMC announcing end of life notice for HomeBase product on the 12th August this year, what other software can EMC NetWorker customers use for BMR?

Cristie Software’s NBMR (NetWorker Bare Machine Recovery) solution will provide value to NetWorker users who need a heterogeneous solution to support all their Windows Platforms (2003/XP through to 2008/2008R2) as well as their Linux, Solaris and AIX machines. In addition NBMR allows recoveries to completely dissimilar hardware (to both physical and virtual machines) and supports NetWorker Server/Client Versions 7.4 SP5 to 8.
