Philipp, You the man, patch worked beautifully. Restore finished in 82 minutes with 56 GB of data restored.
I am assuming then that the correct way to restore data is with the checkout command as I was doing? I want to be able to restore the data and then start making backups from the new server (so I assume doing a checkout will update the WAA area?). Thanks again for your fast help in resolving this issue.
