Fast End-User Feeling Restore

Today are we trying to get better RTO/RPO with as less money as possible.
We are also looking at to backup/restore from a cloud environment.

This is always a hazel when RPO vs money.
And most of the time does all the end-users only want a couple of files and don't care if the rest takes days to restore as long they have access to does few document.

TSM today will restore all data as fast as possible but in alphabetic order that is not wrong way to do.
IBM do also have a very good Small Business product that calls FastBack that are very cleaver how to restore files.

My RFE is more to compliment TSM with more FastBack functions such restore files function where FastBack restore all icons first then start restoring file-by-file in the background and if someone want to open a document then will TSM priorities that file first and then continue where it left off.
