Hello Michael,

On what type of media does the backup data reside? Does this restore issue
occur when the data is on:

* Disk (random access, device class DISK)
* Disk (sequential, device class FILE)
* Tape (a tape device class)
* Next generation storage pool

What type (operating system, e.g., Windows, AIX, Linux) of clients do you
know to be affected?

Best regards,

Andy
