FYI,
I recently restored 249 GB - 298,801 files (20,318 folders) in 1 hour 41
minutes on a Windows 2003 R2 SP1 server.
== 177,505 files per hour
(This restore actually wasn't done with TSM but it does show a higher #
of files created per hour than below.)

Check out the 5.2 Admin guide - it has a nice table comparing disk vs file.

that the we were killing the processor during times when we were pushing a
lot of data to disk. With these new servers we see migrations from Fibre
disk to ATA disk at over 150 GB/hr. We do have 60 TB's of ATA space though
so we have a lot of disks to write to.

small amount of disk. Disk is cheap, right! lol

Exclude.dir excludes the directory and all files.
Exclude.archive only excludes the files (there is no exclude.dir for
archives)
So if you drill down through the archive gui you will see the files with a
red circle through them showing that they are excluded.
This is one of the inconsistencies

There are some other faster restore solutions out there.
Look at set eventretention.

Try Q status to see what it shows. This sounds like a bug from the past
where the command line showed the wrong server version.

Subject: showing downversioned ...
hi all,
after
I bring this up because we have over 200 tapes taking up space in the
library what are archives only and I would love to get these out and sent
offsite. Currently a second copy of these files is sent offsite, but I would
like to do away with that extra work too.
We move all full archive tapes
You also have to watch out for different versions of clients if you
start updating dsm.opt with the nodename of the node you want to restore
from.
We have been hit with the problem when a higher level client accesses
another node who was running a lower level client then the lower level
