Post an idea.
Get feedback from the IBM team and other customers to refine your idea.

Restore of Exchange database using Tivoli Storage Management software no longer shows the status or progress bar until completion of the restore, or part of the restore. For example, if we restore from full and incremental backup, the status will only show once full restore is completed and then incremental after incremental restore.
This occurs with the following version installed:
IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Client and Storage Manager for mail -MS Exchange, both version 07.02.0600.
Tivoli Storage Manager for Mail Exchange -Management Console -04.01.0600
It worked correctly with version
Storage Manager for Mail -MS Exchange 06.03.0100 and
Storage Manager for Mail -MS Exchange -Management Console - 03.01.0100.
It is very inconvenient not be able to see the progress. Depending on situation it may be even critical if status of the restore is unknown, and support personal working on the restore have only choice to wait, without knowing the actual status.
Note: both - working and not working (new) version use VSS component for Exchange backup.
(I am wondering if issue is in in Management console software, or it's interaction with the agent)
