Re: Printbrm Restore Job Is Very Slow

Hello Phil,

According to:
"Estimated duration
The time required to migrate a print server will vary from server to server,
depending on the following:

The number of queues being migrated.

The number of individual drivers needed for the queue.

The size of a given driver, in terms of its file size and the number of files.

The configuration of the server.

Migrating a single printer queue with a typical x86-based and x64-based driver
can range from five seconds to several minutes, depending on the factors
listed above. Because of this range, a typical migration can take anywhere
from less than an hour to several hours.
"

from: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/l...88(WS.10).aspx

this can happen.

Best regards
