what kind of problem did you have with the backupset?  we recovered 2 Aix
4.3.3 filespaces with backupsets this weekend.  The filespaces have approx
3.5 million files and was taking about 40hrs per filespace to perform a
normal restore.  the problem is running node collocation, it really
stretched our restore time to an unacceptable length of time.  we were able
to recover both filespaces with backup sets in approx 30 hrs each.  this
includes the time required to perform a replace if newer restore to get any
changes since the backupset was created.  Consequently we restored the
server in less then 40 hrs from start to finish.  Anyone else have
experience running backupsets that might be able to help us cut this time
even more?
