USB drives can be very slow.

Have you tried restoring the files to a hard drive and seeing if the
problem lies there?

How are backup speeds on that same client?  

Lastly, are the backups heavily multiplexed? That'll slow restores as
the tape has to be seeked to find the distributed backup pieces.

Hi All,

I fired a restore from data stored on tapes to USB drive attached to
Master . Restore is running 400kb/sec. Data to be restored is around
700GB . With this kind of speed, it will take ages to complete

Server A  Netbckup 6.5, windows 2000 , F:\drive  image

has to be retsored to ::

MasterB Netbackup 6.5 , windows 2003 server, USB (E:\drive)


Please suggest . Its urgent
Thanks 
Sachin
