GREAT bird-view of approaching a problem!
I *do* know that prior to solving a problem the problem per se has to be
checked, but I oten forget to do that. You did not. Juraj

Betreff: Re: Looking for suggestions to speed up restore for a Windows server
Tom,
Having just gone through a similar scenario 2 weeks ago, here was my very
non-technical fix:
(me) "Hello, end-user? I'm not going to be able to get your 800GB of data
restored in 2 hours like you want. Care to narrow down the restore to what you
really need?"
(end-user) "Oh. Well, we really only need the 10GB of data in the xxxx and
yyyy directories to run the important stuff."
(me) "Ok, done."
Maybe this wont apply to you, in which case the monthly image backup seems like
a good suggestion.
Good luck,

Subject: [ADSM-L] Looking for suggestions to speed up restore for a Windows
server
We had our fall D/R hotsite test last week and all went well -- except for the
recovery of our primary Windows 2003 file sharing system. It just takes WAY too
long.
Part of the problem is the sheer number of files/directories per drive
-- I'm working with the Intel/Windows admin group to try some changes when we
swap this system out in November.
Part of the problem is that the directory structure is scattered over a mass of
other backups. I'm looking for suggestions on this.
The system is co-located by drive, but only for five of the nine logical drives
on the system. I may have to bite the bullet and run all nine logical drives
through co-location.
Is there any way to force the directory structure for a given drive to the same
management class/storage pool as the data? I'm thinking I may have finally come
up with a use for a second domain, with the default management class being the
one that does co-location by drive. If I go this route -- how do I migrate all
of the current data? Export/Import?
How do I clean up the off-site copies? Delete volume/backup storage pool?
I'm on TSM Server 5.3.2.0, with a 5.3 (not sure of exact level) client.
TIA
