I had hard times, couple of days ago, explaining our management why the restore of an important informix server took more than 12 hours because it was made at the same time (middle of the night) than all the nightly backups, and that TSM server seemed to be overflown by all that data ...
Therefore my question : is there any way giving a restore process a higher prioryty than any other server activity, to ensure a faster restore ?
Arnaud - I believe that an Informix restoral would follow the standard TSM convention where, per the TSM Admin Guide ("Preemption of Client or Server Operations"), restorals inherently have a high priority, as the product's raison d'etre. Perhaps you have the NOPREEMPT server option in effect? If not, check your Activity Log for what the story is.
