Phase 2 usually takes about the same time as the original backup (longer if multiplexing was used).
1. Yes, you will be able to use the backup/restore gui to do the restore
2.
Phase 1: Initialize Import: Scans the tapes for backup image fragments. Each tape in a backup set needs to be done seperately.
Phase 2: Import: Reads the backup fragments from an image in order to re-build the catalog data (basically a new backup without any write operation). I think that the main reason they are seperate operations is in order to deal with backup sets that are written to more than one tape (the import will fail if any of the tapes involved in the backup are missing).

In order fully import the backup set, you will need to do a phase 2 import.
Using the GUI:
1.In the catalog view, change the action to import
2.Set the date range to search to include the backup you want to import.
3. Search based on the client name (or all clients)
4. Right-click on the image you want to import
5. Left-click on 'Import'
When this process is done, you should be able to restore from this image.
For the complete instructions, see the following technote:

I see. Now I'm more confused then ever looks like the import finally completed:
12:15:16 INF - Import of policy USPX_EXCH, schedule Full (1099890042) was successfully completed.
12:15:16 INF - Imported 1 of 1 images successfully.
However when I open 'Backup, Archive, and Restore I get the same error message "WARNING: server does not contain any backups for client..." Any idea what's giong wrong here? I just let the tape inport for the last two hours and it says its done but give me the samearea code

when you go into Backup Restore window.
make sure your master server is correct.
make sure your souce server is the one you are looking to see the backups of.
make sure your destination server is the one you want to put the files on
MAKE SURE YOUR POLICY TYPE matchs the type of servers MS-Windows-NT,
when you select for restore choose from Normal Backup
see if this works.
