RE: Speeding up restore times

Make sure they're saving access paths.  Without that, the restore job will
start secondary processes to rebuild access paths.

Subject: Speeding up restore times


We are acting as a data backup site for a sister installation.  We receive
tapes of their critical libraries weekly.  The time it takes to restore
these libraries could use some improvement.  I don't think it's the tape
drive since it seems to be inoperative for quite some time while the system
processes in the background.  The thing is, the system isn't working very
hard on the restore process:  the CPU used by the job is minimal, the disk
busy % is approximately 33%, the overall CPU used is negligible.

Is there anything that can be done to speed this up?

The OS is V5R2, the tape drive is a BCC Clone of a 3590, the system is a
730/1506, the job is a standard batch 50/5000.
