Well, that depends upon your MOUNTRetention value. Depending upon general environmental factors, you may be able to boost this to cover latency if restorals are frequent enough to warrant the action. And, depending upon volume of data, you may be able to keep a reasonable amount on disk, rather than tape, via a File devclass or Disk type with caching. Given that all that data was on one tape, it seems like having a good amount of disk in your storage pool hierarchy could cover a lot of restorals. Richard Sims
