W did a test full restore of a netware server. The restore was around 40gb and took 8 hours. The Netware admins were disappointed with this time.
To try and compare this time with something else, we created a backup set for the same server - it took 3 hours. My take is that a backup set creation is the equivalent of a full restore. If the backup set can be created in 3 hours, then a full server restore is possible in 3 hours - if you can get the data to the server (network throughput) and the netware server can accept the data (netware server write throughput). Is this sound reasoning? Thoughts? Thanks Rick
