Figure 65 Restore session information flow

How many restore sessions can run concurrently?

A number of restore sessions can run in the cell at the same time. This number is
limited by resources in the cell, such as the Cell Manager and systems with connected
devices.

Queuing of restore sessions

Timeout

When a restore session is started, Data Protector tries to allocate all needed resources,
such as backup devices. The session is queued for as long as the required minimum
resources are not yet available. Data Protector tries to allocate the resources for a
specific period of time, the timeout. Timeout is user configurable. If the resources are
still unavailable after the timeout, the session is aborted.
