I have read somewhere that there are tools that will verify the backup file without actual test restores.
Does Red-Gate SQL Backup Pro requires an actual test restores to verify the backup file?
Where can I download SQL Backup Conversion Utilities?
Edit: Found it on C:\Program Files (x86)\Red Gate\SQL Backup 7 but it kept error out with: "SQBConverterGUI has stopped working"
with options to close the program or debug the program. / comments

What happens if we need to test restores of our backups to a different server? We're going to need to install the server component to the other server. Is that a violation of the licensing if we only have 1 license for server component? / comments

Sorry. Did not check back on the thread until today. Marianne

If the green spinner completes, is it faster from then on or always slow on refresh?
No idea on speed as it is still spinning with "Retrieving backup history ...". I am beginning to think it's not going to show any history information. / comments

I do not meant to hijack smccreadie's thread. Sorry ... but thought I do a quick update.
The spinning green thing did not stop - waited till the end of yesterday and close out the app.
This morning launched SQL Backup again, and server starts spinning, so did Activity History. Waited for about an hour - it did not stop, so I close out the app.
Did not bother to try Restore or Backup. Doing it the old fashion tsql way. Unfortunately, until the fix for this issue, SQL Backup tool is pretty much useless to me now. / comments

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/c ... heLocation
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? / comments
