1. Turn OFF client and admin schedules; 2. Turn OFF any real-time virus scan (on the destination client); 3. If you're doing restore to Windows platform, use -DIRSONLY option, to restore just the directories, first -- after first pass, then restore the -FILESONLY -- using PIT restore options, in both cases; 4. Use command-line client, AND consider using CLASSIC restore (eg, specify -PICK option) so the server will sort & consolidate tape mounts; 5. Run multiple restore sessions from separate high-level directories, up to the number of tape drives available for the task.
Monitor network pipe on both ends, ensure it's full of data (remove any bottlenecks observed, such as other apps like lfcep.exe). Expect to get 5-10 GB per hour with large file server; best case, maybe up to 15 GB/Hr.
