The system backup (mksysb) should be restorable without a base image. Check the man page
for permutations. Other types of file backup won't work. As for AIX licenses, I'd
like to hear a formal pronouncement on this. I believe the position, last time I
inquired, was having the hardware implied a license but not maintenance. If you
'acquire' the appropriate media, I think you are alright to run it. Basically
4.1.x to 5.3.x on most 43Ps, but especially the black ones. I'm sure someone can jump
up and call me a fibber on this one. So check my facts.

Do IBM do AIX hobby licenses? Hmmm.... I don't
have any media for the
dead machine. I do have a mysterious backup tape, but I bet you need
the OS working to install that.
