Trying to restore a backup from a V8.2 to a V9.1. Is a Dar Backup from a workstation.
Backup seems to restore OK but I never get the restore complete message. Have I missed something or is this a bug ??
Thanks

...Backup seems to restore OK but I never get the restore complete message.
It depends what you mean by "never".
How long did you wait.
You really need to wait until you see the restore is complete message or the restore will not be completed correctly.
There can be a long wait involved after seeing the list of files & before the restore is complete message appears
The whole procedure can take many many hours (eg 8, 10, 15, etc to do a restore depending how big your data set is & speed of drives & network connections etc.
Of course there may be some other bug issue.

Waited 12 hrs. Data is about 300Gb and network is Gb
Drives are Sata 2 and processor is Dual Core

Well that might not have been long enough, try waiting a few more hours.
Check the bugs to see if any apply to your situation.

Heres how long on old very slow hardware .. 187gb 91 HOURS.. http://forums.contribs.org/index.php/topic,50496.0.html
I think janet is right, you may have to wait just a little longer
-
OK, I have taken all that onboard. The data is actually only 100Gb. With 2.8Ghz processing and Gb networking I thought it might just be a bit quicker than that but I will keep waiting
Janet, I have noted your comments that restore takes longer than backup.
Maybe I will take a stroll from AK --> WN and back while I wait -lol !!
