Hi all
A basic question...
tapes are non collocated
if you kick off a restore of multiple directories on a win2k client will TSM mount a tape and get all the data off that tape for the directories concerned then move on to the next volume, or does it restore sequentially one directory at a time, i.e it could mount the same tape numerous times as it goes through thr directories.
Many Thanks

Hej I :)
TSM restores in tape-order, each tape is only mounted once for each restore, that is why you select all files to restore first, before anything happens... This is a good thing since mounting a tape is expensive....
