Restores have worked previously with no issues. I have attempted
restoring to the host that was backed up as well as locally to the
master server. The restore fails after approx 7 min. Will attempt a
single file restore.

Has a restore ever worked properly?  Are you restoring it to the host
that 
you backed it up from or a different host?  How long did you wait for
it 
to restore?  Have you tried restoring a single file instead of a large

dataset to see if that helps?

Justin.
