We lost a large WinNT machine, :f alone is 838 Gb 90%+ full.  There was a
complete backup on Friday night, but the Monday night backup never finished
before the box died.  My thought was to restore to the last complete backup
and let the users (actually, their admins) restore individually the lost
work from Monday.  About 600 Gb restored over a two day span.  But now it's
been suggested that we restore to Monday instead.  So what happens with all
those files already restored?  Will TSM regard them as already on disk and
ask to bypass them?  Or will TSM want to start over from scratch?

We have a long restore window over the weekend, so any thoughts will be
much appreciated.
