I believe the next version is promising the ability to "pause" a backup,
allowing a restore to slip in, then restart the backup.  I'm attending an
overview seminar next week, I'll try to remember to post afterward.

Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] Prioritizing Restores over Backups in 4.5


I am very interested in this as well. We have had a few issues with this
lately. Leaving a few drives "inactive" in case of a potential restore is
NOT an option. Because of lack of slow backup speeds, we operate at 110%
during the backup window. :( We also would like to be able to have restores
take priority (when queued)

Thanks,

Paul

Does anyone know of a way to make restores that are queued, along with 
other queued backup, to run next?


We currently have a problem when all of our devices are in use and we kick
off a restore. I know that the restore will get queued up, but I want to
make sure the restore kicks off as soon as a drive is available. I do not
want a queued backup to jump in there and take up the free drive.


Has anyone run into this type of problem?


Thanks,

Kris
