Hi,

For each file in the restoreset, TurboSTORE first restores the
entire file from tape, and if the restore of that file is
successfull, it goes on and purges the old file from disc, and
saves the restored file with the original name (FCLOSE'es with
Permanent Disposition - in MPE terms).

So, its natural to have bigger free disc space requirements for
'Parallel Restore' and
'Restore from a tape created with INTER option'
compared to (plain) serial restore.

Regards,
Bijo
