Hello All,

Thanks for your help!

I work at a medical institution and there is a big push to get our DR
procedures in order. We will be using a Sungard facility for our DR
activities and we will have to restore 4-6 AIX servers (2 HA clusters 1
DB with 1Tb and one apps on another cluster) and 20-25 Wintel platforms
with various applications, DBs, Novell, etc.

We have a 3584 Library with 16 drives (8 LOT1 and 8 LTO2) and a 55A
with 4CPUs and 12Gb RAM. Gb NICs and will have like equipment at the DR
facility.

Some tests have revieled an extended time to restore due to many
volumes being loaded to perform a restore. I am looking for some
empirical strategies, white papers, advice, etc. to help me improve this
situation without loads of money of course! I am not ruling out any
method including backup sets, archive schedules, collocation, etc.. I
can't seem to find what I need from IBM websites regarding the gotcha's.
I need the "fastest way" shy of a $10M hot site strategy so I am going
to the mountain! I appreciate you help!!

Nicholas
