I'm currently set up with a File based backup system (no tapes).  Initially I 
wanted to make 1TB files, but learned (and read) that recovery of a backup is 
very slow with large files.  So, I reconfigured it to create 1GB files.  This 
will create significantly more files (1000x) but this won't be a problem for 
me.  My questions:

1) when I created the volume set, it pads the file with 0's.  So, file 1 is 
0001.  What will happen when I get past 9999?

2) I ran a backup last night, which created 475 files.  I notice when trying to 
perform a recover, it is still slow.  I suspect this is because it's spinning 
through all 475 files.  Is there a way (via bat or bconsole) to recover faster? 
 If I were given an option in the recover screens (ie: what specifically do you 
want to recover), it wouldn't need to spin through all 475 files to build a 
directory tree.

3) If I use bconsole I can specify a single file to recover and it is VERY 
fast.  But there doesn't seem to be a way to specify an entire directory.  Or 
am I not looking in the right place?

Thanks!
