Hi,

When restoring D365 FO DB to my DEV environment, how long does it take in average ? If for example we have around 200GB DB.

I'm restoring from BACPAC, but it is already more than 24 hours, yet it is still "Enabling Index...."

Appreciate any insights/tips from everyone here.

Many thanks.

Hi Ken

It depends on the size of the DB and the spec of the VM, it could easily run over 24 hours for a 200GB+ convert/import.

Consider throwing more power and SSDs at the VM, or trying to reduce the size in the T2 bacpac source environment.
