I just performed a restore of Windows 2003 guest (100GB, thin provisioned). The restore method was file based and I selected all files. They were restored to the same folder location on the host. Estimated time to completion was about 38 minutes. About two-thirds into the vmdk restore, the status bar went to the end and the time remaining went to 0. However, the dialog box stayed open and did not advance to a complete status with a close button. I opened the VM folder and saw that the vmdk file was at 66GB and growing. When it reached 100GB, the dialog box displayed a close button and was complete. The restored VM, which was also a SQL 2005 sever, operated as expected and to the point in time of the restore point.
Has anyone seen this behavior in the restore dialog?

Re: Restore time goes to zero but job is incomplete
This sounds like cosmetic issue with this restore type and thin provisioned disks... I will ask QC to confirm and log an issue in the bug tracking system, so that this could be fixed in the next release. Thank you!
