Hello,

could we have a short discussion about restoring the W2K profile files ?

We use tsm server 5.1.5.4 and w2k clients 5.1.5.9. Probably due to the very
small size of profile files (most of the files are 1 KB big), the restore
session is very very long ... I suppose LTO technology is not so well
adapted to the read of such small files with mixed deleted blocks on the
tape!

We plan to define a special disk storage pool with NO migration and maxsize
of 2K, to keep all these small profile files on disk.

Your opinion and/or any tips would be greatly appreciated...

Thanks in advance for helping us,
