Restoring to a different machine.

Did a restore to a different machine last week for some offsite testing 
purposes.  Now, if it was always up to me I'd do the boot from tape with 
the system initialization option.  A compromise would be a boot from 
install CD with the full initialization, then the LIC install from CD, 
followed by the install of OS, etc from the backup media.  Then reapply 
ptf's.

However, for reasons I don't want to go into here, they loaded both LIC 
and OS from install media.  And loaded all LPP's.  How does one best 
recover?  This is what I tried.  After the restore of the user profiles, 
libraries, folders, IFS objects and authority from my save media.  Back on 
the original system I did a
CRTLIB xxx
RTVSYSINF xxx
CRTDUPOBJ OBJ(Q*) FROMLIB(QSYS) OBJTYPE(*SBSD) TOLIB(xxx)
SAVLIB LIB(xxx) DEV(*SAVF) SAVF(MYLIB/MYSAVF)
ftp'ed that bad boy over
CRTDUPOBJ the sbsd's back over
UPDSYSINF xxx

I'm thinking of adding a RTVSYSINF and the appropriate CRTDUPOBJ's to all 
of my preinstructions to a complete system save.  That way I have the data 
on the tape.  Any other suggestions?
