Restore speed on NT is very sensitive to the total number of files
restored. Do you have a lot more files on your C drive than your D drive?

Thanks for the suggestion but there are no tapes involved. This is a test
environment still and we are only going to dasd on the mainframe server.

The most probable cause for this is tape fragmentation. Do you collocate
your onsite volumes.? We have seen variance like this also when
reclamation
is not successful.

Subject: NT client restore C drive
On a bare bones restore of a Windows NT client's C drive, we are getting
very poor throughput times. For example, it is taking an hour and a half
to
restore 200 MB. Restoring the D drive is much better - 4 minutes for 50
MB.
We have release 4.1, a 10/100 Ethernet network, OS/390 TSM server, and we
are booting off an alternate partition on the NT client to restore the C
drive.
Why would we have such a discrepancy in restore times between the 2 drives?
And is this average performance? We have much larger servers coming up in
our plans and this is not an acceptable timeframe for restores.
TIA
