Restore sparse files

When restoring sparse files to a non-NTFS or non-ReFS file system, set the IBM Spectrum Protect™ server communication time-out value (idletimeout) to the maximum value of 255 to avoid client session timeout.

The backup-archive client is restricted to restoring sparse files that are less than 4 gigabytes in size.

The following issues apply if more data is restored than the Microsoft disk quota allows:

• If the user who performs the restore has a disk quota (for example, the user belongs to the Backup Operator Group), the client does not restore any data that exceeds the disk quota of the restore user and displays a "Disk Full" message.
• If the user who performs the restore does not have a disk quota (for example, the user belongs to the Administrator Group), the client does restore all data and transfers ownership of the files that exceed the disk quota of the original owner to the user who is performing the restore (in this case, the Administrator).
