Re: Box Upgrade -- MIDRANGE-L

Can you restore everything ahead of time, test it,
then when the cutover time comes you only need to
restore the data?

Since you're using the same tape drive, it will
probably take atleast as long to restore as it did to
save it.  How long does it take to save your system? 
That'll give you a good idea.
