do a single restore for all dates.  this will limit the amount of data 
restored and reduce tape mounts.

if your backup was broken into multiple streams and you know what they 
were, do a restore for each stream (still keeping a single restore for the 
entire date range for that stream).  doing this you can have multiple 
restores, at the same time, to the same box, coming from different tapes 
or from the same tape at the same time (concurrent!!!) if the data is 
mpx'd together and the restores are started within the mpx restore delay 
timeout.

Hi all,

I started working on netbackup (3.4 datacenter) for about 2 months now. I 
worked on similar products (omniback, arcserve/alexandra). I have few 
questions on how we achieve (or possible) in netbackup.

1) On restore how do we know the size of restore before submitting (I 
guess no preview on 3.4)?.
2) If we are trying to restore a full backup and subsequent incrementals, 
should we need to submit multiple restore for each date or single job can 
restore all dates?. 
3) Is there any setting on netbackup to automatically overwrite on new 
datestamp or size?.

One more last question:
I have a exchange backup which is backing 4 information store each as a 
new stream. Sometime if one fails, my resubmission again kicks of all 4. I 
need to kill other jobs. Is there any command line option in bpbackup to 
submit for one stream only?.

Thanks for your help,

Mani Vasagan
