We purchased a NetAppliance filer and consolidated all of our File servers
to it. The filer has a snapshot utility that makes restores a lot faster and
easier. I believe part of the problem with restoring to NT is that the OS
cannot create the files fast enough to keep up with TSM.

We are considering the use of Journal Based Backups and Collocation=Yes for
these kind of environments. The only drawback to collocation may be a
limitation for multi-session restores...
