Thanks Justin

The image contains just under 2 million files and comes in around 540GB. 

This restore is currently still Queued and has been so for an hour and a half. 
It's the first restore of the entire contents of the backup I have attempted.

The selection I chose using  "bp" is listed below, are you suggesting I go one 
directory deeper and selected all the individual located in /C/EMACROFNP10/

Dave,

When I used Flash Backup, I only used it on UNIX (Solaris) and never Windows.
However, I will mention the restore did seem to take some time to get started,
8-12 minutes or so for a 10,000 files or so?  I never attempted to restore the
entire volume but the files beneath the volume.

e.g.: C:\directory\myfiles

If you try to restore C:\directory\myfiles and not C:\ (where everything
is checked off) does it work then?

Does it ever timeout?  How long have you left it like that?

Justin.
