The original restore of the whole volume has just kicked into action
after 1 hour 40 mins. Will see how it pans out, will post the results.
Some indication would've from NBU would've been useful :-)

Dave,
I would give that a try, but first, do ONE of the subdirectories, a
small one
to make sure that works first, e.g.: /C/EMACROFNP10/DFS_Data, then do
the entire /C/EMACROFNP10.
Then post your results :)
Justin.
