I am trying to restore a .v2i image and as the data are restored, the process is getting slower and slower. The creation only took about 4 hours for 50 GB. The restore is not going well and is getting slower by the hour.
I think the problem is the sheer number of individual folders I am trying to recover. There are about 1 million folders holding about 20 Kb of data in 7 files. Each folder represents 1 invoice or packing slip. The majority of the data were restored from DLT, but we discovered that back up did not work right even though it said it did.
I am trying to restore about 150,000 folders from the .v2i image. As an example of the current restore speed, it took 24 hours to process folders 4717-8474. Yeah, ouch.
Because of the processor load on a server being accessed by users, I have been restoring from and XP machine using the V2iBrowser.exe as suggested in another message. Some of the forum messages suggest a bug in the restore process that is causing the slow downs. Does the 7.01 version decompress at a faster rate? Would someone from Symantec be able to send me this if so?
I am in a real pickle and need some help.
Sincerely,
Brian
