Thank you for your reply, Amol.

Right now I have a backup running (and the B2D on my DataDomain share limited to a single connection), but later I will try restoring to the DD630.

However I should note that the original source for my backup was a Windows server using the remote agent.  I am only using the DD640 as a B2D location.

I also need to add that looking back through my Backup Exec history, in the past I have successfully restored files from a backup to the DD device.  I have been using a B2D folder there for a few months.  Today I set up a new  B2D folder on a new DD CIFS share, ran a small backup and restored from it successfully.
