We have a 16GB TSM DB. The disk on the DR was preallocated and defined. A restore took 20 minutes.

In a 24 hour DR Test this is not good.... " Two thoughts. 1. If it took that long to format, it might not just be a disk issue. What CPU configuration was on the server? This is a very intensive operation. 2. Consider using Raw Volumes in a DR situation. No formatting required. curtis [EMAIL PROTECTED]
