If you assume a file create rate of about 100,000/hour then you are

instead, you can cut the restore time in half. You can't improve the
file create rate by using multiple streams.  In fact, that actually
reduces the rate.

I'm still advocating the image route.

and usually, when Kelly tells you to jump, you jump. Really Kelly
usually knows best.

Of course, thinking outside the TSM box, rsync-like tools can do a
great job, I've even use rsync one to move all data from one HSM
enable AIX server to another... I guess there must be windows
alternatives, I've heard talk of robocopy, but I'm not a windows
expert....

It is ~2,000,000 individual files after hours.
