The thing to remember is that TSM is an enterprise oriented solution. The
assumption is that your infrastructure and procedures prevents full box
restores from happening very often at all and that you have too many boxes
or too much data to push full backups every week (or whenever). It is
definitely slower on the restore than the full/inc/inc backup schemes, but
in a stable production environment where you don't have to recover servers
every other week, the automation and ease of management definitely outweighs
the slower server recovery of TSM. IMHO, anyway.

Subject: Newbie Concern on Restore Times
My company is looking at replacing Legato's NetWorker with
Tivoli's TSM, and I've been told by another competitor's
marketing rep that TSM restore time takes forever.
The problem occurs with the backup of a volume of 30GB+
over a week, then trying to restore it many changes later.
We plan to test this case, but does anyone have any horror
stories/previous experience or docs that would refute this?
I'm a little nervous about trusing what the competitor says....
Thanks in advance,
-Bern
