Jeff,
The way that Data Domain restores is down to how you submit the restore
jobs from the backup and restore console in NBU. If you want to restore
root, usr and var you could click on root, uncheck the mountpoints you don’t
want to restore and kick off the restore. That will restore everything in
1 job. If you drill down and only select the individual mountpoints you
want and kick each one off as an individual restore, Data Domain will send data
to multiple restore jobs.
As an FYI we found that we were able to restore our biggest
database (Exchange) quicker in a single stream than in multiple streams.
A single stream allowed us to restore approximately 100GB per hour.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Restore from Data Domain using 3 selections
For the
second time I’ve noticed that a backup we created that had 3 simultaneous
selections going to Data Domain (as it previously did to tape) on restore is
only doing a single selection. When we did this to tape it would
restore 3 different selections simultaneously just as it had backed them up.
Is there
something I need to tell bprestore to force it to do this when the 3 selections
were all going to the same location like a Data Domain? If not
would starting 3 separate restores of only the files in the specific selections
cause it to run concurrently?
