I am trying to restore and experiencing the same issue. I have 3 instances defined and the spinning thing has been going for more than 30 minutes and still running once I click the Restore button.
I checked
http://www.red-gate.com/supportcenter/content/SQL_Backup/help/7.2/SBU_ActivityCacheLocation
as suggested and %LOCALAPPDATA%\Red Gate\SQL Backup\Server Data\localDataCache.dat is only 38KB and 1.dat-journal is only 11KB. These are the only 2 files that has today's date modified.
As for "Reducing the amount of data in the activity cache", we have a SQL job that deletes the server backup history that is older than 30 days.
I'm just glad I'm not trying to urgently restore this db. I'm glad it's a test restore to make sure the backup is good.
Just wondering if the spinning thing will ever stop and the activity history will actually come up? And if so, how long did it took?
