So, the job has started and it's created the VM but it doesn't look like it's doing anything so far.
It's quite a large server: two VMDks totalling 1.8TB. Would you expect to see the job 'hang' here while it reads the backup file?
Looking on the media server, I can't see the backup image file being accessed...
Thanks
