Mark,

We ran into this problem a few months ago when I got a call from our
offshore support team who was trying to restore a file in Ireland, but it
was running reeeeeeal slow.  Turns out that the media server in Germany was
reading the image off the Ireland media server and then sending it back to
the client in Ireland.

!!!

In our case, we always want the media server that created the backup to
perform the restore.  After years of having it beat into our heads that the
media server owns the media and will do the restore, this came as quite a
shock.  This same behavior exists on OST disk pools like DataDomain.
