Restoring 16gb win rar file database

Postby Tracker1 » Mon Dec 05, 2022 11:31 pm

Hello I am restoring a win rar file of old PT4 database which size is 16GB

PT4 says Est. Space Required 25GB

It goes fast to the Updating Database part and its been stuck for 2+ hours here. It doesn't seem frozen the green line keeps going indicating process is happening also computer is using alot of CPU.

Does anyone know how long does such database restoration take?

How long a restore takes depends on many factors but if you are not using an SSD then it will be slower. Also if the backup is old then it will take longer as one or more database updates may be required. 2 hours at this stage with your configuration might not be unreasonable but if it's still running and appears to be stuck on 'Optional Files' then you can try the restore with everything under 'Optional Files' disabled. If you start the restore again then do so with logging enabled so you can report your issue in a Support Ticket with your log file if there is a problem.

If it was created before the 4.17.1 release, then a backup of this size can take several hours even on reasonably good computer to do the "Update" during restore.
