Howdy,

=20

I semi-new to Veritas Netbackup. I have policies and have

done some restores and backups. Everything is working fine.

=20

This weekend, we want to rebuild a system that has about

3.5 TB's of Data. We want to backup the system to tape,

rebuild the disk structure, and then restore.

=20

What' the fastest way to do this?

=20

I have a L180 with 4 SDLT Tape units and will be backing up

over a gigabit between the 3.5TB machine and the backup server.

=20

I have setup a policy for the machine.

=20

Should I multiplex, and if I restore, is there anyway to restore

with multiple streams? I'm looking for the fastest backup/restore

for the machine.

=20

Thanks for the help.

=20

Cheers...James
