Karel, Ensure that you break the storage into as many as four filespaces and collocate this client by filespace in your storage pools. This will give you a chance to reduce the restore times to network speeds.
I fear that backup sets will not help you much here as creating them will take too long (perhaps but you can always test it). I think your only chance to restore this is in a reasonable amount of time is to bring as many tape resources to bare as possible. Thanks, Kelly J. Lipp Storage Solutions Specialists, Inc.

Today I received a request to back-up a win2000 fileserver. They will start with 200 gig. Based on servers we currently host I predict this server to store 8755028 files and 756095 mb on the TSM server. The TSM server is version 4.1.3 and runs on a 1gig 2 cpu AIX machine. The library is a 3584L32 from IBM with 10 scsi lto drives. The TSM client will be version 4.2.x. The network is 100mbps ethernet (which will not be THE problem). Smaller fileservers have a poor restore time (>26 hours), so this will become a disaster. Is there anyone out there who has something like this AND can keep the restore time less than 24 hours (tested!). If so, tell me how, please. Thanx, Karel Bos NUON ICT Holland
