We managed to restore a 206 GB file to the same server with no issues or 
errors; the admin of the box determined we didn't need the 38 GB file, so the 
issue was dropped. I'd rather have resolved the issue, myself.

In the past we had 2 times a similar problem:
first time (tsm server on mvs) the ip sequence number did a wrap around and was 
not properly handled by mvs. (So large restores always stopped at different 
positions) sencond time (tsm server on nt) we realized that our network 
backbone did corrupt our ip pakets without crc errors! we could view the 
problem by adding crc tothe communication layer within tsm. The restore to that 
time (a exchange db) was no more possible since the backup data were not 
correct. The restore always stopped at the same position.
