Hi all

A basic question...

tapes are non collocated

if you kick off a restore of multiple directories on a win2k client
will TSM
mount a tape and get all the data off that tape for the directories
concerned then move on to the next volume, or does it restore
sequentially
one directory at a time, i.e it could mount the same tape numerous
times as
it goes through thr directories.

Many Thanks

Hej I :)

TSM restores in tape-order, each tape is only mounted once for each
restore, that is why you select all files to restore first, before
anything happens... This is a good thing since mounting a tape is
expensive....
