I had the exact same problem when I first tried to restore some files from one of my bacula installations. The problem was the database on the back end. I had my database expert (who isn't me!) reindex the database and everything became MUCH faster (like seconds instead of hours). We have a nightly job that vacuums and reindexes the database each night and everything has worked wonderfully since.

Good luck!

Hi,

we recently had to perform a complete restore of around 150GB with 1.5 mio files and noticed that bacula (1.38.5) spends A LOT of time (several hours) after I typed 'done' in the file selection dialog and until I could
define the restore parameters.

Could any of those in the know please enlighten us on what the director
is actually doing during these hours ? It's not that our server is slow or small, on the contrary ! Comparing with other restores, my inpression was that the wait time scales non-linearily with the number of files, so some sort of sorting may be going on.
