Matthew,

Can you or anyone elaborate on this? Will I see restore improvement on
backupsets created with version 4.1.x.x by upgrading to 5.1 or will I only
see improvement on backupsets created with 5.1?

I have the redbook 5.1 tech guide, but what is in your message is all that I
can find in the book, any elaboration would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Mark

Miguel,

>From what I remember, V5 backupset processing is vastly improved.

>From 51 Tech Guide:

'Performance for using backup sets has been improved by optimization of
device block sizes.
Backup sets on portable media were introduced in client Version 3.7. The
Tivoli Storage
Manager V5.1 clients improve the performance of restore from local tape
backup sets by
doing separate read and write threads to overlap input and output and by
obtaining the read
block size from tape label. This has resulted in an approximate doubling of
the throughput.
The number of possible values for the location option of QUERY BACKUPSET and
RESTORE
BACKUPSET have been reduced to simplify configuration and usage of
backupsets.

Prior to Tivoli Storage Manager V5.1 you could specify the following device
classes:
SERVER
FILE
TAPE
8 MM
4 MM
3570
3590
DLT

Now you only need to specify the following device classes:
SERVER
FILE
TAPE

In addition to the previous specific tape device support, LTO support has
been added.'


Do all your backupsets perform this 'well'?
If so, although upgrading is not always the best move..

Hoi

I try to restore some files from a backupset (size 110 GB on 2 tapes)
