I have only done this to/from tape. The system has nothing on it. You "boot" from your backup tape which will start the full restore. I know you can backup to virtual tape (aka disk) which creates and IFS object which can then be moved off to some other disk storage device but I have no idea how you might do a full restore from that remote disk device.

Lukas,
Is that only available from a tape? What would have to be the 'state'
of the box restoring to? Would it have to be a system w/o anything on
it, or an already installed system at the same O/S level?

This is possible using IBM's Save 21, which is part of the base OS.
No need for third party products.
