Don -
Check with your software vendors first...
Be aware that if you have any purchased software, it will most likely
require reactivation on a machine that has a different serial number or
configuration from the original system, and in the case of some software
vendors, they'll ask for thousands or tens of thousands of dollars for
transferring the license from the original machine, even if the new one is
essentially the same as the old one, or maybe even if you're testing on a DR
box...

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.
