Re: NEED HELP - Restore performance

Regardless of the client level, you can open as many dsm windows and start
as many restores at once as you want.

That's the best way to go if you have multiple filesystems to restore, up
until you bottleneck your networks.

FYI, FWIW, the option of multiple-restore streams was introduced with the
5.x client. While this machine is still using 4.2.3.0, we are going to
investigate upgrading to 5.1.5.x  Not sure why this client wasn't
upgraded.

Any specifics on how to do the "no query" restore ?  We checked the book
and from what it says, we are doing this (using wild-card/*, no -inact,
etc).  Are we missing something or is this one of those features that
didn't really make it until the V5 client.   Examples would be extremely
helpful !

Zoltan,

You've probably tried this already, but just in case...have you cranked up
resourceutilization and maxnummp?

Maybe no-query restores?

Just a thought...
