Jim, Are you using the default of 50 for mbobjrefreshthresh or have you adjusted that value? If so, how did you determine what to change it to?

I restore from a snapshot of replicated data. I was under the impression that the mbobjrefreshthresh parameter triggered additional (megablock) backups and substituted for periodic fulls. It's my fervent hope that recoverin from file-based storage will not be slower than standard incremental restore.

This and make sure you restore your VE metadata to disk first, this only works if you place this metadata in a seperate copypool.
