Changing
the socket buffer size for large restores
When you attempt to
restore a large number of files or a large amount of data, the
restore may run very slow. If you encounter this sort of behavior,
you should change the socket buffer size on the NetBackup media
server and the NetBackup destination client. The following
procedures explain how to set this socket buffer size.
For more information
about changing the socket buffer size, see the NetBackup Tuning Guide for UNIX, Windows, and
Linux.
