Got a Questions for all the folks using rman out there. We are using rman with a legato networker solution. Now after tuning rman like stting up maxopenfiles, setting the filesperset doingg work on the maxblocksize. we have tuned the backup about 2Tb to run in 6-8 hours. The backup gets 4 tapes and in total writes to 7 tapes. the restore took us about 32 hrs which offcourse management didnt like. one of the ideas pooped around was . Is it possible to allocate more tape drives at restore time e.g 4 tapes drive on backup but 7 on restore and if we allocate enough extra channels will rman pick up the extra 3 tapes since it did backup on a total of 7 tapes. this could cut the rerstore time a lot and i'm trying to get some test environment to try to test this but anyone out face this issue if so how did they resolve/fight thru this Thanks
