The dump file was about 7GB. (That seems about right based on past<snip>
I started the restore at 6PM last night, 18 hours later I'm hoping it is getting close to being done, as it has been building indexes for the past hour or so.
The test system is quite a bit slower than the system I'm cloning, it is on
a 133Mhz P2 vs a 2.2 Ghz Athlon, but it has a fairly fast 40 GB IDE disk drive.
Is the amount of time it is taking within reasonable limits?
A couple of years ago I loaded a database of ~7GB on a dual ppro 200 MHz server (with SCSI drives). I think it took about 24 hours. Based on that experience, I'd say your 18 hours on a 133 Mhz machine is not bad.
The exact same data, later loaded onto a dual 1.4GHz pentium III server took about an hour.
HTH,
