[Networker] Exchange restore

We are new to Exchange and the Exchange module.

My NetWorker server is Power Edition 7.2.1 on Solaris 9 and I have aquestion regarding recovering Exchange 2003 data with the version 5Exchange module.

The Exchange server's set of data weighs in at around 100GB and itonly hosts around 100 users. We are trying to recover a small storagegroup to a recover storage group for testing purposes. The storagegroup we tried to recover is around 28GB and after selecting thatgroup in the NetWorker Exchange GUI and requesting the recover, itjust sat there for a couple of hours and we finally killed it off sowe could run our nightly backup.

We are trying this recover again now and it has been sitting for 45minutes with no apparent activity. The most recent message says"opening restore session with the NetWorker Server" which appeared 45minutes ago. The same screen says I can check the xbsa.messages filefor progress information, but that file has not been updated.

NetWorker is not requesting a tape mount. All I see on the console isthe client browsing.


Is it normal for a modest amount of data to take so long to recover?
