I don't know how you are going to use that tape, but you should consider to 
create a Backupset.

You will need to use a 3rd party utility to copy (clone) one tape to another.

Re: Ang: Re: Ang: 50Mb restored in 4.18h....

[Henrik Vahlstedt]

Hi Daniel,

It took a while before this email got published on adsm.org...

However, I read the message and I wanted to address the specific issue not the 
general one with people are complaining about restore times, which they often 
do.
To me the key sentence was "The server has a lot of files, almost 7 million 
including the copypool".
I'm sure we both would find a suitable solution even if we attacked the problem 
from different angles.

Hi there Henrik

I asked a few questions to try to get a pointer.

Concerning my point on TSM performance, Nicklas was the one saying he had the 
organisation complaining on TSM for poor performance. Perhaps you should read 
his first message, and you'd understand why I said as I said. Scroll down this 
message and you will know what I'm talking about (last line)

Subject: [ADSM-L] Ang: 50Mb restored in 4.18h

Hi there

To begin with, TSM as a product has no issues with fast restores. If the data 
isnt placed correctly, restores might slow up though.

- Did you restore files or files and directories?
- Are you storing directories on tape or in a dedicated diskpool using DIRMC?
- Considering it was only 117 files, the average sice was 427KB. Are you using 
collocated tape pools, or is there a chance the files was spread across the 
tape?

When a restore takes this amount of time for just a small amount of size/files, 
it usually points towards files / directories being spread across the tape. 
Usually when doing restores of large fileservers (which I asume this is) 
sorting out what needs to be restored on the TSM server-side is what takes 
time, but since you got to "Waiting for files" pretty fast, I'd say you have 
files/directories spread widely across the tape.

Does anyone have a clue of why the restore took so long?

It found what volumes to mount fast, but then the client was "Waiting for files

People here are complaining about TSM and that the restores takes long time and 
it's hard to defend it when the restore takes so long...

Restore processing finished.

Total number of objects restored:   137
Total number of objects failed:   0
Total number of bytes transferred:   59.12 MB
Data transfer time:   42.65 sec
Network data transfer rate:1,419.17 KB/sec
Aggregate data transfer rate:188.75 KB/sec
Elapsed processing time:   00:05:20


The first restore had the filespecification:
restore "\\fspas01cl001\z$\mpy-it\users\p950kaz\my pictures\pic\*"

If I changed it to  restore "\\fspas01cl001\z$\mpy-it\users\p950kaz\my 
pictures\pic\?*"
The client got direct "waiting for offline media" and started to restore the 
files after the tapes got mounted

So I tried again with only *, and got the same problem as before:

tsm> restore "\\fspas01cl001\z$\mpy-it\users\p950kaz\my pictures\pic\*"
tsm> c:\restored2\ -subdir=yes
Restore function invoked.

ANS1247I Waiting for files from the server...


Some questions:
Whats the difference between ?* and only *

Why don't I see a restore session when I ran q restore with the ?* filespec,
tsm: ADSM4>q restore
ANR2034E QUERY RESTORE: No match found using this criteria.
ANS8001I Return code 11.

And the restore starts right away

When I run with only * I get this in the log:

How do you enable persistent bindings to tape devices in Linux with TSM. Is 
everyone using Sandiscovery or writing their own udev rules, other options?

I've done some test regarding this but it was a pretty long time ago so I don't 
have any results to share, sorry, just an opinion.


The default in RHEL is the CFQ scheduler which should be optimized for 
throughput which is what we want.

Your other choices would be:

deadlineif you need low latency
noopno scheduling at all

You should probably give atleast the noop scheduler a try if you have the time 
since it could be beneficial depending on your storage, otherwise CFQ is an OK 
general purpose scheduler.

I can tell you my understanding - right or wrong!

Operating systems keep lots of I/O queues . . at least these:
- a queue for each HBA.
- a queue for each LUN.

By spreading your db across multiple luns and hba's, you can get more 
parallelism - assuming your application can make use of the parallelism.
This is why TSM also should have it's database defined using multiple volumes.  
So you get multiple db vols across multiple lun's across multiple HBA's.

Will it help?It all depeneds . . .

The best thing I have ever read about this topic is the following.  It doesn't 
specifically address your question, but it goes into a deep dive about queuing.

TSM will always keep minimum 1 full TSM DB Backup.
You can never delete that volume from Volhist until you have done a new full 
successful backup.

But it is not recommended to only keep 1 full backup, and you can verify that 
you have a DB Backup by run "q volhist"

Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to stifle people asking questions of the

However, as an etiquette to us all, I think there's an expected amount of 
research that one should do before posting, e.g. search the list archives to 
check if the question has been asked/answered before; take a look on IBM.com; 
look in the TSM Information Centre; check the product's own extensive and easy 
to access help. If there's still confusion or clarification required, then by 
all means post away.

I think that helps to make the list a happier and more productive resource and

calculate the bandwidth of your PCI bus/slot in Gb/s
- you can only have one 4 Gb/s HBA working at 100% capacity on a PCI-X 
133 bus
- 10 Gb/s ethernet requires PCI-X 266 or a suitable PCIe slot
calculate the bandwidth requirements of your drive
- you can have maybe 2 or 3 high-speed drives per HBA

Re: Antwort: RE: [ADSM-L] two tsm server instances on the same windows server with library-sharing

[Henrik Vahlstedt]

Hello,

After you install TSM server you will get a Management Console where you can 
install and configure your n+ instances.
c$\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Tivoli Storage 
Manager\Management Console.lnk"

No, you can still share the lib. and drives. Same procedure for IBM3584, SL500, 
STK9710 etc.

I assume you use LTO drives, see v.6201 install_README.txt
install_exclusive.exe:
install_exclusive.exe should be used by applications (such as Tivoli 
Storage Manager)
requiring the driver to issue automatic reserves on open and also 
preventing multiple
open handles from a host to a drive to exist at the same time.
Note: This option replaces the previous default installation of 
install.exe

install_nonexclusive.exe:
install_nonexclusive.exe should be used by applications (such as 
Microsoft Data
Protection Manager or Microsoft Removable Storage Manager) permitting 
multiple open 
handles from a host to a drive to exist at the same time.

install_exclusive.exe has nothing to do with TSM library sharing.

Thanks
Henrik

Hello Henrik,

thank you for the responce.
I can't try it now.
I am thinking, whether I can share the same tape-drives on the same windows 
system.

I found the sentences (
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/tivihelp/v1r1/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.itsmfdt.doc/b_install_guide_windows24.htm
) :
"A typical Tivoli Storage Manager installation involves one server instance in 
the Tivoli Storage Manager server machine. You might want to install a second 
instance. You might also want to run more than one server on a large machine if 
you have multiple tape libraries or a disk-only configuration."

For the IBM Tape drive I use "install_exclusive.exe". Does it mean "No drive 
sharing" ?
You use a STK Library. Is this different from IBM libraries for library- and 
drive-sharing with windows ?

With best regards
Andreas.

Henrik, when we first installed lto-4 tape drives, we had a few problems with 
them. The IBM ce downloaded a dump of data from the tape drive and send that on 
to the higher level support folks. They asked to update the firmware, which was 
just release. This help us greatly. 

Our tape drives are installed in an IBM  3584 (aka TS3500) so the tape drive 
dump can be gathered either via the CE's laptop tools or via the IBM library 
web interface. 

If you are using IBM's drivers, you should be able to download the drive dump 
via a utility supplied with the driver code. In our case this was not an option 
as the tape drives were attached to an netapp box.

Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] Errno = 23, 1167 and stuck tapes

Henrik -

I don't have a direct answer for you; but my suspicion is that drive microcode 
is involved, perhaps in conjunction with cartridge vs. drive characteristics.  
The IBM readme document S1003097 for LTO4 shows a very large number of problems 
that have had to be corrected, suggestive of more, ongoing.  The stuck tape 
situation may suggest a problem managing the mechanics and/or timing of drive 
operations.
Given the mechanical malfunction which results, I'd have your CE attend to the 
next event, to examine the conditions logged in the drive's memory, to try to 
uncover the cause.  The inability of an OS command to effect tape dismount 
indicates a serious problem.  If the CE can't be gotten in time during the next 
event, see if you can have the operator get at the drive to record any error 
codes on its panel.
Make sure the CE pores over the sense bytes you're getting from the drive.

FW: Errno = 23, 1167 and stuck tapes

Hello,

Have anyone experience with Errno = 23, 1167 and stuck tapes or a suggestion 
what might cause the errors and how to solve them?
I get the errors in all kind of datamovement processes, D2T, T2T. Errors are on 
all drives randomly but not all the time.
That is, I can have 1 or 30 mounts before I get an error on a drive and the 
faulty tape mounts OK in another drive.
OS-, switch- and TSM logs etc does not provide any helpfull information.

Although Linux system supports files and directories with path plus file name

1. cant help with licensing, IBM is horrible in this area 2. ask your windows 
guys who implemented Microsoft's DPM what their strategy is for DR - chances 
are you'll get a blank look since they haven't thought about how to make 
offsite copies.
3. check out Storserver Agent for VCB, we use their product with great success 
in the vm world.  Using a proxy not only offloads from the vm host, it also 
means you don't need to load/update the tsm client on the vm's.

Hi TSM-ers!
Our windows department is looking at different backup products for backing up 
their server.
They have two major problems with TSM. One I cannot solve: the TSM client 
license is processor based, so quite expensive for the majority of small 
servers. I think we all agree that the TSM client license should be capacity 
based, but IBM aint listening here...
The other problem is that they state TSM cannot backup running VM's.
They now use a product called DPM to make snapshot copies of running VM's.
I'm not really familiar with Window server management, especially when it comes 
to virtualization, but I know one thing: TSM is one of the leading, cutting 
edge backup products, so I doubt TSM is not supporting this feature.
Does anybody know whether it is possible to make snapshot backups with TSM of 
running VM's?
Thank you very much in advance for any reply!!!

Re: TSM server recovery

I would install a server with the same OS as the old server, I would not

Install 5.2.0.0 and test db restores tape by tape, which will take some

A couple of weeks ago the list discussed utilities to read TSM tapes,
maybe a bad or good choice.. Search the list archives.

In earier versions you could create a new dsmserv.dsk and add a path/name to 
one known log- or dbvolume.
This will allow you to start TSM server and recreates dsmserv.dsk with all

Re: ANS9999E - Network Backup

[Henrik Vahlstedt]

How do you mount and run the backup? Error 997 is typical for an
application if it tries to access a (cluster) resource, before the
resource is fully initialized.
Anyway, upgrade your client to 5.5.2.x since y.z.0.0 versions always

Re: Preventing TSM from using a certain library port

[Henrik Vahlstedt]

So If i understand you correctly.
Barcode reader and gripper works perfectly on all slots exept one. 
Tapeutil can read the volumelabel in the faulty slot.

Can the library read the label if the tape is stored and checked in from
a mailslot?
And you sure that 3583 volume inventory is up to date, and is matching
TSM library volume inventory?

Hello Henrik,

I cannot see how this should solve the problem. If the library can't
read the tape's barcode (or can't store it in its database, whatever the
reason is), an 'audit library' command would tell TSM that the slot's
empty and tsm would not checkin the volume. But it would try to move
another volume into this slot, when checking them in from the
mailslot...

Maybe I just didn't get the point of your idea...

Subject: [ADSM-L] Preventing TSM from using a certain library port

Hello,

our IBM 3583 library seems to have a problem using a certain port.
Sometimes we get a "slot obstructed" error message because the library
tries to put a tape into a slot which is already filled with another
tape. Looking into the librarys slot information reveals that it assumes
this slot is empty! First I thought the cause would be the tape itself /
its barcode. But after removing this tape from the lib, the "slot
obstructed" problem still occurres with the same slot but a different
tape.
Whatever the cause is, is there a way to tell TSM _not_ to use this
slot, even if its empty? Is my assumption right that TSM and not the lib
decides where to put a tape when checking it in or removing it from a
tapedrive? But when does TSM get the information about which slots are
present in a library? During an "audit library"?

Thanks in advance,
Stephan

On some devices, when I reboot the server the driver doesn't stay

adhoc and changes after every reboot.

Has anyone else seen this behaviour or got any suggestions please?

I've not configured persistent bindings this time since the TSM docs

Re: Preferred TSM Platform

I would stick with AIX as the #1 Choice just because the combo of
hardware and OS are unbeatable for this kind of thing.  I've seen
Windows Servers Choke on half the amounts of data I move every day, and
I have yet to even use more than 1% of my proc, or use the swap space on
my AIX box.
Second from that would be Linux (because I don't know Solaris).

I would avoid Windows.

Re: Windows 2008 HYPERV Backup With TSM

[Henrik Vahlstedt]

Post´s answer basiclly said TSM supports Windows 2008 under the assumption the 
agent is installed on every 
virtual server. You might like the approach above but I would prefer a more 
centralized way to do 
backups of virtual servers, ex. like Vmware Consolidated Backup. 
Since Post knows alot of organizations running TSM & W2k8, he might be able to 
share his thoughts on a backup strategy for HyperV?

Thanks

I guess an agent on each virtual machine will work as on a physical machine.

I've meant on the Host machine - to backup each VM as a file (kind of an image).

Re: TSM server from x32 to x64 version

I would first move to new hardware and run TSM for a couple of days,

No, I ment..

On server A: 

Use dsm.exe in command line and type 'dsm.exe -virtualnodename=serverB' 
You have to supply your TSM admin ID and PW.
Then in GUI restore serverB´s data to serverA.

I'm trying to add a DataDomain DD530 (running DDR 4.5.2.5-76716) to a
Windows (2003 SP2) TSM Server (5.5.1.0). I can add a CIFS share from the
DD530 without problems and also create maps/folders and files on it from
Windows.

 

When I issue the following command from TSM:

 

DEF DEVC DD_CLASS DEVT=FILE MAXCAP=200G DIR=K:\DDPool (K: being the
mapped CIFS share)

 

I get the following error:

 

ANR8971E Unable to validate the directory name K:\DDPOOL for DEFINE
DEVCLASS command.

ANR8366E Define Devclass: Invalid value for DIRECTORY parameter.

 

I also tried the UNC path (\\DD530\backup\DDPool
 ) instead, but with the same results.

 

I can use local disks from the TSM Server just fine for the FILE class
(e.g. like C: or D:).

[Henrik Vahlstedt]

If you are using a client level that supports it, try delete backup command.

Hi,

On the drive D: was executed backup directories A and B. How can I remove only 
one of these directories, with all its contents, without deleting the entire 
filespace \\server\D$?

Re: DB Mirroring - Poll and question

Why not use some old IBM scripts when comparing performance??? 

The scrips was orginally published under "How to determine when disk
tuning is needed for your ITSM server"

"On my first test expire run on my new test server (to which I reloaded
the 194GB production DB), the expire ran in 10-hours - 1/4 of the usual

Reload = Unload + load DB, or only a restore DB?

WOW, the 342 Million files is what is killing you but it still seems
like an excessive amount of time. You mentioned Saturday as when it
starts.
You
are running expiration daily aren't you? You should be able to run
expiration and reclamation to completion each day or you need to look at
another instance or configuration to meet your resource needs. If you
don't complete expiration and reclamation daily, you will be queueing up
unfinished work each day that will turn into a 24-48 hour expiration
run(sounds like you are there). Expiration and reclamation go
hand-in-hand.
If your expiration doesn't complete then you reclamation can't either.
As a
result, you may have a good number of un-reclaimed and un-expired
entries in your database. BTW, I have always been told, by my TSM
mentors, that due to the database intensive nature of expiration, that
it should always run by itself.


Define LOTS?

My specs are:

194GB DB
206TB Occupancy
342,194,690 files

Subject: [ADSM-L] Urgent: Trick to delete individual node events no
longer works

Greetings,
Sorry if this has been discussed, but I could not find any traffic
about it.
In ADSM QuickFacts it says:
 
 
Delete Events -
To delete certain events for a
specific
node only, disassociate and then
reassociate that node with the
schedule
that is listed in the event log
entry to
be removed. This will delete,
for that
specific node only, ALL event
entries
associated with that schedule.

We have used this trick to delete individual node events in the past,
but this trick no longer seems to work.  We recently upgraded to TSM
5.4.3.0, and now when you disassociate the node from the schedule the
event goes away, but when you reassociate the node with the schedule,
the event reappears.  Has anybody else seen this?   Any clever trick to
fix it?  We use a script to identify failed backups when there is some
unexpected situation that causes some clients to fail, and runs an
immediate backup on them, and then uses this trick to clear the original
event so it doesn't show up in our reports as a failure.  
 
I don't know if the TSM 5.4.3.0 upgragrade anything to do with it, or is
there some other cause.  But the upgrade is a recent change, anyway.

This testflag in the dsm.opt file will disable that and backup the file

Re: TSM Cluster Scheduler Question

[Henrik Vahlstedt]

Hi again Farren !

Aha ok, two nodenames?

My best guess is that TSM Cluster Scheduler is only backing up the OS.
And TSM Exchange TDP Scheduler is responsible for Exchange backups.

What I do is to use two TSM nodes and two scheduler services on Exchange
servers like you seem to have.
But I only have TSM Exchange TDP Scheduler defined as a cluster
resource.

OS backup is not a part of the cluster and should be defined per host,
which requires two nodenames.

We had this set up by an outside company and are now seeing some

So, the dumb question, what does the Cluster Scheduler actually do?
I can see there is a separate schedule for the Exchange TDP backups.

Subject: [ADSM-L] TSM Cluster Scheduler Question

Hi All

TSM 5.4.1.2 on Solaris 2.9
Backing up Exchange (MS Windows Server 2003, RC2 SP") - 5.5.0.0 in a
clustered environment.

We had this set up by an outside company and are now seeing some
problems with the TSM Cluster Scheduler automatically failing over the
cluster due to a password issue (this is as far as I can see anyway).

So, the dumb question, what does the Cluster Scheduler actually do?
I can see there is a separate schedule for the Exchange TDP backups.

Thanks

Farren

Re: Server stgpool volumes and GPT

[Henrik Vahlstedt]

 
Thanks for the answer Skylar!

Offset, alligment or diskcrossing problem is an Intel architecture
problem hitting both Linux and Windows. In Windows you can use diskpar
or diskpart to overcome it. EMC have an white paper "Aligning GPT Basic
and Dynamic Disks For Microsoft Windows 2003".
However, we lazy uneducated Windows administrators don't tend to care
about it if we cant use a GUI...

I've run into offset problems with DOS partitions on Linux, where the
offset forces every write at the filesystem level to be written to two
stripes rather than one. You can fix this with the "x b" command in
fdisk, or use LVM which doesn't have an offset.

I don't know if this is related to MBR/GPT on Windows though.

Actually, you may get better performance out of Windows if you leave off
the GPT.  You don't want really large storage pool volumes anyway, so
partitioning it out with 2 TB File systems, would be a good idea.  That
would remove another level of complexity, and overhead on the server
itself.  The fewer things you have between the App (TSM) and the
hardware the better.

Or, better yet, use Linux and you'll get more out of your hardware.

Re: Throttle a Windows client?

[Henrik Vahlstedt]

Hi,

No, you can not limit the bandwidth within Windows for one application.
However some application have their own setting for throttling ex.
Backup Exec.

By design TSM client is set to use as much resources it needs during
backup ex. cpu, memory and network.
Regarding network traffic, IBM reluctant refuse to understand and
implement the consept of QoS, Qualtity of Service, in TSM.

Thinking of just one server/one OS when you try to implement a
restriction of how much network trafic TSM should be allowed to generate
doesn't scale very well. You could talk to your network guys and ask
them to implement QoS on port 1500/1501 on their routers and make sure
that TSM only uses thoose two ports.

Re: from SEZ

Yes, but the file will exist on tape due to Retain Extra Versions and

But you can always create a Delete mgmtclass with appropiate settings

Is this true? I know the volhist files are updated each time a database
backup is completed, but is it also updates for each time a volume is
added or deleted from a storagepool? Of course, the volhist table in the
db is continuously updated, but that should not be to big a problem
(well, after about 5 years or so it might).

Are there any other downsides we can think of?

Re: How can I restore a file form the tape but I forget the path and filename of this file?

Even if TSM is a fantastic product it wont help you with restoring
unnamed and unknow files.

However if you feel like you will recognize the path/filename when you
see it you can 
always do a 'dsmc query backup' on the server of interest.

We look at dedup VTL as a possible target for active storage pools
containing ordinary file backup. This way we don't risk very much if the
VTL breaks or the VTL's dedup index goes corrupt. I am a little
sceptical about the robustness of these products so I will not let these
VTL's play a too significant role in our setup. My sceptisism may of
course be totally unfounded.

For TDP-data which are written and read in large sequential chunks, tape
is just fine performance and cost wise. From what I have heard, it can
be hard to obtain any decent dedup compression for Oracle with dedup
VTLs and the performance is questionable.

Re: Delete volume problem

I am not sure how you try to delete thoose volumes, but.

This should work.
Create a OS script with multiple lines like:
Dsmadsmc -id=x -password=y del vol xyz discarddata=yes wait=y
Dsmadsmc -id=x -password=y del vol zyx discarddata=yes wait=y
Etc.

If you create a script in TSM or run multiple del vol commands in a
macro you will get the deadlock you are seeing. Been there..

Re: Support w2k

[Henrik Vahlstedt]

Hi,

Well you said it, 5.3 client. Upgrade your OS or extend your support contract, 
$$$. 

Or continue to use 5.3 unsupported with a 5.4 server which from what I heard 
will be supported for 5 years.
I have doubts that there will be new problems introduced with w2k servers and 
TSM...

In the past we had 2 times a similar problem:
first time (tsm server on mvs) the ip sequence number did a wrap around and was 
not properly handled by mvs. (So large restores always stopped at different 
positions) sencond time (tsm server on nt) we realized that our network 
backbone did corrupt our ip pakets without crc errors! we could view the 
problem by adding crc tothe communication layer within tsm. The restore to that 
time (a exchange db) was no more possible since the backup data were not 
correct. The restore always stopped at the same position.

Good morning everybody,

our TSM server won't start and brings one of those feared ANRD
messages (see below).
First I thought about the Log being full and did an extend of 100MB
(from 1 to 10100).

Any ideas how to recover from this error? Any experience with upgrading
the server to the newest pft/fixtest version in this state?

Best hope and wishes,

A hypothetical question occurred to me one dark night: 

 

You normally create the Windows service called TSM Server 1 (or 2 or
whatever) through the TSM Management Console when you first set up a TSM
server. Does anyone know how you could create the service through an OS
command-line interface?

Re: Win2K3 backup performance

[Henrik Vahlstedt]

Hi,

Have you recently upgraded the client, and are you using scheduled
backups with sessioinitiation=serveronly?
>From 5.3.5.3 to latest 5.4 client I have an issue with above settings
and performance. 
Ie, with newer clients performace drops with 70-80% when I backup larger
files > 1Gb.
Dsmc and sessioinitiation=clientorserver works fine.

Subject: [ADSM-L] Win2K3 backup performance

We have a Windows 2003 client running TSM 5.4.1 backing up to a Solaris
10 TSM server running the 5.4.1 server.

The client has several very large files to be backed up (300-400GB). We
are finding on a 1.3GB test file that we can only get a throughput of
about 10MB/sec (looks like 100Mb speed) even though this client is
configured on a GigE VLan.  One interesting aspect just discovered is
that a restore of the same file got speeds of 37MB/sec, which is about
the same as an FTP of the same file from the client to the server.
Client, switch, and server all set to 1GB full.

At this point, I'm completely mystified as to what might be behind these
performance anomalies.  I would expect much higher throughput rates on
all of these tests, but would be satisfied if the backup would just
perform at the same speed as the others.

Client options:  Server Options:

TCPWindowsize   63   TCPWindowsize  131072
TCPBuffsize  32

Re: Strange ANR0536W all of a sudden

[Henrik Vahlstedt]

Hi Zoltan

Some readme files says that data format changed in TSM 5.4 which is
probably why you see this error. I have seen it in older versions of TSM
when the backup process changed mgmtclass between directorypool and
diskpool. Test not to use DIRMC?

An 'help 0536' indicates that we should follow the support matrix. :-)
However this doesnt explain why you see the errors but more suggest
where to spend the trouble shooting time.

Out of the blue, quite a few of my Windows clients are generating these
error messages:

1/31/2008 3:30:37 AM ANR0536W Transaction failed for session 121443 for
node ROSE-OTS (WinNT) - downlevel client does not support format of
stored files.

Considering the server hasn't changed since it was installed (5.5.0.0
eagerly awaiting first patches), I am trying to figure out what would
cause these errors ?  Yes, the clients are a little behind (5.3.x).

A quick Google search did not reveal much on these errors.

Re: Fw: DISASTER: How to do a LOT of restores?

[Henrik Vahlstedt]

Hi,

So far so good, move data, backup sets, active copyppool. You got plenty
to work with. I just wanted to add a example restore command.

Dsmc restore e:\?* e:\ -subdir=y or equivalent. In tests I did with 600k
files I reduced restore times from 4h17min to 52min. 
Processing time without '?' in the restore syntax took "forever", if 3
hours counts as forever.
