Restore from tape to SAN stalls

I have a restore from tape to a NETAPP SAN and it will mount and position the tape and begin reading for a couple of hours. KB per second and KB's both will change regularyly until a point when they both freeze and the restore stalls. Any ideas? I've let it go for over 5 hours now and it's going nowhere.

well ..

i would try to setup some logs on your master. then i'll watch into the logs wat's it's saying

especially on bptm , bpcd , bpbdm

restore can take long times , especially if you use multiplexing backup

NDMP is enabled but I'm restoring folders and an unknown number of files. Quite a few I'm sure. Over 1024? I can do the logging but not sure how to read them once I get them.

I ended up having to create the parent folder that I was trying to restore and then it worked. Not sure why I would need to do this as the path was buried 5 levels deep.
