Hi, Depends (love that statement) on the type of restore. If you have a no-query restore, the tsm server will restore the data in a "as few mounts as possible way", if you have a query restore the client will ask the tsm server for a object (being file or directory), so the TSM server can not do its thing to minimize the number of tapemounts.
>From the read.me: No query restore When you enter an unrestricted wildcard source file specification on the restore command and do not specify any of the options: inactive, latest, pick, fromdate, or todate, the client uses a different method for retrieving files and directories from the server. This method is called no query restore because instead of querying the server for each object to be restored, a single restore request is sent to the server. In this case, the server returns the files and directories to the client without further action by the client. The client merely accepts the data coming from the server and restores it to the destination named on the restore command Regard, Karel > -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- > Van: i love tsm [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Verzonden: dinsdag 19 augustus 2003 21:02 > Aan: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Onderwerp: restore question > > > 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 > > _________________________________________________________________ > Sign-up for a FREE BT Broadband connection today! > http://www.msn.co.uk/specials/btbroadband >
