Hey Richard,
From my finite experience of restores from Backupsets and with
Novell/NetWare, (I just did one (500 Gigs worth) in August), I found out
that if you have 7 tapes and the information is on tape 1, it puts the
information out (restores) when it gets to tape 1, but has to read through
the other 6 tapes to finish the restore no matter if all the data is on
tape 1.
Thank You,

Please respond to

Yesterday I asked about a long Netware restore.
In playing around, we are tring to perform a restore of the
backupset that we created.
The backup set looks like:
4 tapes (IBM 3590)
Size: 240gb
Files: 938,617
Backup from: NW5.1 SP3
Restore to: NW5.1 SP3
TSM client v5.1
When we start the backupset restore, it looks like the TSM server
is trying to read through all the tapes. It mounted the first tape
and appeared to read it for over an hour. It then mounted the second
tape . . . . and is still doing something with it after 30 min.
The Netware admin doesn't see any activity on the system we are
restoring to. Very weird.
Q) Does a backupset restore read through the entire backupset before
actually sending any data?
Thanks
Rick
