Miguel, >From what I remember, V5 backupset processing is vastly improved.
>From 51 Tech Guide: 'Performance for using backup sets has been improved by optimization of device block sizes. Backup sets on portable media were introduced in client Version 3.7. The Tivoli Storage Manager V5.1 clients improve the performance of restore from local tape backup sets by doing separate read and write threads to overlap input and output and by obtaining the read block size from tape label. This has resulted in an approximate doubling of the throughput. The number of possible values for the location option of QUERY BACKUPSET and RESTORE BACKUPSET have been reduced to simplify configuration and usage of backupsets. Prior to Tivoli Storage Manager V5.1 you could specify the following device classes: SERVER FILE TAPE 8 MM 4 MM 3570 3590 DLT Now you only need to specify the following device classes: SERVER FILE TAPE In addition to the previous specific tape device support, LTO support has been added.' Do all your backupsets perform this 'well'? If so, although upgrading is not always the best move..
