I hate to mention other products on a TSM list but since you asked... It was Microsoft's DPM 2006 - Administrator recovery - this is a file level restore.
I think a TSM restore from disk would get similar results - I'll have to try sometime to compare. -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kelly Lipp Sent: Wednesday, May 23, 2007 2:44 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] Restore Times I'll buy that: what was the application that did the restore? Was it file-by-file or was there some sort of image restore involved? Kelly J.

No faster. So I would conclude that your restore time is optimum. Based on my experience, obviously. If others have more up-to-date information about file create speeds, please share. But I am confident that you have done what you can do on this particular restore. For grins, create a very large file and backup and restore that file to see what you get. What I have found for small numbers of large files, backup time will equal restore time. Kelly J.
