It’s been a while since I tested
this, but _I_ remember that if
you wanted it to restore the way he wants, you HAD to issue five different
restores at the same time and use the restore delay feature to start them at
the same time. If you just selected five directories, it did them one at a
time. That’s why I always did my multi-filesystem restores as a loop
for I in /a /b /c
/d /e
do
bprestore $I
done

Restoring from Multiplexed Backup
Do you select all
mount points at the same restore? If yes, then you will see only one job,
but netbackup will restore all files in one tape pass.
If you start 5
restores the you have to be fast (every restore must start within 30 sec, by
default). This can be changed from master server properties.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Restoring
from Multiplexed Backup
Hello,
I have a standard backup policy configured to stream five mount points to one
tape drive. This is working fine.
When I do the restore, I only see one stream restoring at a time. Is it
possible to restore the five streams of data from the multiplexed tape at the
same time?
Other backup softwarescan do this so I assume Netbackup can as well... if some
could please point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated.
My environment looks like this:
Master: Solaris 10 on SPARC
Media Server: HP-UX on PA-RISC
Source Client: HP-UX on PA-RISC
Target Client: HP-UX on PA-RISC
Multistream = 5
Multiplex = 5
One LTO-1 tape drive
Thank you in advance for any insights.
Jeremy
