Yesterday I asked about a long Netware restore.

In playing around, we are tring to perform a restore of the
backupset that we created.

The backup set looks like:
  4 tapes (IBM 3590)
  Size: 240gb
  Files: 938,617
  Backup from: NW5.1 SP3
  Restore to:  NW5.1 SP3
  TSM client v5.1

When we start the backupset restore, it looks like the TSM server
is trying to read through all the tapes.  It mounted the first tape
and appeared to read it for over an hour.  It then mounted the second
tape . . . . and is still doing something with it after 30 min.
The Netware admin doesn't see any activity on the system we are
restoring to.  Very weird.

Q)  Does a backupset restore read through the entire backupset before
actually sending any data?

Thanks

Rick
