Try pre-restoring the transaction logs using the gui. It takes some digging in the archive logs to figure out which logs to restore, but it will restore the logs in the order that they are on the tape, reducing the mount requests while it is applying logs.

The TL's will be backed up into another tape pool, but primaraly the active TL's will stay on disk. The point behind this is, that if you restore a logged Domino DB a week old, it requires a lot of tape mounts and takes a long time. Collocation is an option, but that is not the solution since the DB's are massive > 1GB and there are a lot of them, which means the diskpool gets filled up mighty quickly. Migration sets in, even migrating the TL's to its own tape, meaning the TL's are not on disk anymore and the whole proccess is still fairly slow. Any suggestions are appreciated. TIA Markus Veit
