Zoltan is there another 64bit server you could use? maybe mount the disks to this other 64 bit server, do the restore there and then unmount/remount on the 32 bit server. The borrowed 64 bit server could perhaps continue to serve its usual function as well as do the restore, depending of course

Zoltan: Have you looked at the server-side of this situation? You can optimize for backup or restore but not usually both. While you may slam TBs to the server in a short window of time, you usually are increasing the window on the restore-- unless you've thought about it when architecting. Do

I am restoring 2-drives (F: and G:) with 27M and 22M objects and 900G and 700G, respectively. Since the F: was going to be so problematic, I decided to start the G: last night at 11:30pm since I can run NQR/unattended. So far as of this writing, it has restored 15M/250GB. Not sure if the PIT wi

I don't know about the original server but since it is handling so many files and terabytes of storage, I would assume 64-bit. As for the server I am restoring to, it is a W2K3SP2 Enterprise Edition quad-core but am assuming 32-bit since it doesn't say 64-bit. Either way, I can't change this

Zoltan, Have you attempted a Point in Time restore from command line? That might help with the number of inactive files you are experiencing. If that is not an option, you may have to go a couple directories at a time. I have only had experience restoring up to 9M files and the one time I did it

Zoltan - Your posting provides no information about the Windows system. A large server should be 64-bit, where one would expect the 64-bit client to easily handle the task. (If it's a 32-bit Windows, that's a bad choice on the part of the Windows administrators - one of those plan-ahead things.
