The "how many restores were done" is easily answered from the TSM
accounting files.
SET ACCOUNTING ON to create the dsmaccnt.log file.
Look in the admin guide for a description of the fields.

I'll agree, but I'll also note that many of your questions really are
trees questions. For example, peak drive usage really isn't smooth;
it's instantaneous. Why did X change on date D is even tighter than
tree; branch perhaps, or twig.

Expect that, if you get a can of answers, you will also get a can of
procedures and ideology with them, which may not be compatible with
yours. This is not necessarily a bad thing; but I would not expect to
get a can of answers that fit your site as it happens to exist now.
