Restore from large backup

Apologies, not sure how I missed this reply until just now. Says you sent it 6 days ago but I was only notified recently!

Anyway - it is possible you are affected by a database recreation bug that causes it to take far longer than it’s supposed to. This bug has been fixed but the fix hasn’t made it into the beta channel yet.

If you are willing to try a canary version, you may have better luck. Be warned that the current canary release does have certain OTHER flaws not present in the beta version. Also, you won’t be able to go back to the beta version (easily) because the latest canary upgrades your databases. You’ll have to wait for the next beta release to switch back to that channel.

Similar issue was discussed recently in this thread:

Canary worked great for this user. Note the posts that talk about the flaws in the canary release so there is some added risk.
