Learning is fun - I remember when we first worked with DLT robots.
Management couldn't believe that the tapes were "so expensive" so said
there should be no retention longer than 6 months. At 7 months they
were surprised when they found out they couldn't restore one of the
first backups run. They "learned" then that tapes are relatively cheap
compared to not having saved a 6 month old source code backup of code
not modified in the last year that developers had inadvertently wiped
out.

Hi Simon,
This is unfortunately the trade off of using multiple streams, the
backup
are fast but recovery is ssllooww.

Hi All
Got a major outage - 1 Media Server lost 400GB Disk. New disk in place,
trying to restore, but throughput is BAD BAD BAD!
Backups were done using multiple streams (4 streams per tape drive). I
kicked off one RESTORE job to restore ALL Data to this one drive.
Is there a benefit to kicking off multiple restores for Data on this
volume?
Thanks
Regards
Simon Weaver
