Re: DISASTER: How to do a LOT of restores?

2008-01-22 Thread Ben Bullock
I agree with Nick. If you can find some disk space (even NFS mounted) that you can put on the TSM server, you can do a "move nodedata" of the nodes you will be restoring to this diskpool and get it all queued up in advance so the restores will happen quicker. Good luck. -Original Message---
