Assuming that the restore software uses maximally shrunk extents in their Define Extent CCWs, and assuming the DR site has sufficient PAVing, you could do 8 concurrent restores of -3s versus 1 restore of 8/9 of a -27, and then restore the last 1/9 of the -27 in a separate restore job. The total elapsed time would then be about twice the elapsed time of restoring a single -3 instead of nine times. Bill Fairchild Plainfield, IL
