A quick update as to the current status:
The restore is well under way, and so far we're at ~20% completion. The copy process is going relatively quick, despite the old disk being damaged, but of course, this may change as we get further into the restore.
At this point, a relatively rough ETA for completion is 8-10 hours. We have to take this with a grain of salt though, as this might change (for better or for worse), as we get deeper into the restore.
On the brighter side of things - the new machine that we are restoring the data onto is setup on a raid5 array, with 1.4TB of space. That's quite nice
We'll update you once further progress is made with the restore. Again, we apologize for the inconvenience this has caused - we're doing our best to speed things up though and keep you in the loop as to the status of the restore.
Thanks,
