I don't know about the original server but since it is handling sooooo
many files and terabytes of storage, I would assume 64-bit.

As for the server I am restoring to, it is a W2K3SP2 Enterprise Edition
quad-core but am assuming 32-bit since it doesn't say 64-bit.

Either way, I can't change this situation/configuration. I just need a way
to manage restoring soooo many objects.

If I am correct that MEMORYEFFICIENT is only for backups, I question why
there wouldn't be a similar option for restoring?  It goes without says
that if you have to use this option for backup because of the sheer number
of objects, there should be something to handle the restore.  After all,
isn't restoring a critical part of the backup process?

Zoltan -

Your posting provides no information about the Windows system.  A
large server should be 64-bit, where one would expect the 64-bit
client to easily handle the task.  (If it's a 32-bit Windows, that's a
bad choice on the part of the Windows administrators - one of those
plan-ahead things.)
