[Networker] Why can't legato restore files the same way it backs them up?

Hi all,
I'm having trouble trying to figure out why legato can't reverse engineer
the way it backs up files to the way it restores files.  Why can't they set
it up to read from the same amount of tapes as it writes to?  Are they
planning to add this to the code at any time?  Basically what I'm asking is
that if it writes in streams, why can't it read in streams?  I've been
recovering 500 gig of data for the last 2 days and I have to turn around and
do it again as soon as this one's done.  I understand that the parallelism
and target sessions during the backup can be optimized for a restore but
then it would take me 48 hours to back up the data.
Thanks for any input,
Jody
