Greetings,

We have issues performing restores of many small files.  We are =
performing cold backups for our Oracle 11i instances which are about 95 =
Gig and include about 575k files.  The backup times is about 3.5-4 =
hours, which really isn't an issue.  But, when we try doing a restore, =
it take between 9-11 hours.  I do have the Veritas NetBackup Performance =
Tuning white papers v. 1.51, and have a few questions about that.  First =
of all, our indexing level is already set to 9, so that setting is =
confirmed.  My next settings would be the buffer settings.  Has any =
tried changing these and seen results?  I looked at the =
SIZE_DATA_BUFFERS and for some reason they were set to 262144 or 256k.  =
I changed them (according to the documentation) to 65536 or 64k.  I =
noticed that the 256k buffer was also on the media server as well.  Do =
the buffer sizes need to be identical for both master, media, and =
client?  What about changes to the NUMBER_DATA_BUFFERS and =
NUMBER_DATA_BUFFERS_RESTORE?

Thanks,
