RE: Windows Integration and Longhorn

Additionally, Microsoft doesn't support image based backups for domain
controllers.

See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/888794

So, using that procedure is inherently risky if you're running Active
Directory.

For recovering individual user files, TSM is overkill, though. There's
Shadow Copies which let users handle this on their own.

Another thing to consider is while doing an i5/os save of objects in the

QFPNWSSTG directory is nice for a "let's recover the whole wintel
server" 
it is not acceptable for an individual file.  For example if "sally" 
trashes her excel file does that mean we should have to back out all
data 
to the previous day's backup?  No.  You should still use something like 
Tivoli Storage Manager to save individual files.
