Does anyone know what NetWorker is really doing when it says forwarding
x file(s) during a recover? I've noticed sometimes, it might forward 25
files and then suddenly forward another x number of files and then start
the recovery. I've even seen it do this three times before the actual
recovery of the data itself starts. Why not just forward all the numbers
at one time? The forwarding of files seems pretty quick, but I'm
wondering if there's some relationship to the number of files that it
must forward and the number of savesets on the tape? In this case, what
does the term 'file' refer to: a single save stream that was written to
the tape, something else?

Thanks.

George
