Re: Restore performance W2K file-server

Doesn't the TSM Win client also support image backups for WIn2K now?

We also have seen that the problem on RESTORES is the speed at which NTFS
can create files.
(Consider how long it would take you to drag&drop 800GB of files.... can't
be any faster than that with TSM.)

If you do an image backup periodically, and incrementals daily, then when
you have to restore you restore the image, then just do point-in-time
incrementals.  Should make the restore MUCH faster for a very large full
disk.

But that's just theory, I haven't gotten around to trying it myself yet...

We purchased a NetAppliance filer and consolidated all of our File servers
to it. The filer has a snapshot utility that makes restores a lot faster and
easier. I believe part of the problem with restoring to NT is that the OS
cannot create the files fast enough to keep up with TSM.

We are considering the use of Journal Based Backups and Collocation=Yes for
these kind of environments. The only drawback to collocation may be a
limitation for multi-session restores...
