Created a large amount of data. Backed it up to the tape library. Trying to restore data on to the same location. Writing started, then also status under Operation column in Activity Monitor is showing as "Mounting". After some time Restore also completed successfully. While backing up data it works fine.
So, my question is, it is default behavior that it will show the state as Mounting only.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Yes operation will show as mounting in GUI but in detailed status you can see the byte count increasing.
I guess the reason behind is it has to do lot of repositioning while reading the data from tape but as compare to backup where it says positioning it shows as just mounting in the operation. I am running 10 restores all showing byte count and all showing as mounting.

Yes, I can see it in the detailed status. It means it's defult behavior.
