We don't know just what type of restore you were trying to perform or
the amount of filespace data involved (Active +/- Inactive).  As the
doc explains, the client often pulls the full list of files from the
server before starting a restore (or Inc Backup, for that matter).
That takes time, and the amount of time depends upon the capabilities
of your configuration.
