Hi All,
 
I'm backing up my SQL servers using Netbackup 5.1 MP6 with SQL Agent.
It's working fine but the restores are extremely slow....
Today I started a 160GB DB restore at 01:00 pm and now is 07:00 pm and it is still working in the restore...
I saw the files timestamp and there is no activity in the file since 3:40 pm but netbackup is reading the requested tapes file by file...
Is there is a way to index the backups to speed up these restores?
 
Thanks,
 
Julio
