Like others here I am also noticing that restores in 2.6 are taking considerably longer than in 2.5. 20 minutes or more is the norm for me even though my courses are not particularly large (about 40MB). I've also noticed that many of my courses never fully restore. I never see the 'Continue' button, though the course does seem to be there later. It makes me nervous to not receive confirmation that the restore has finished.
Another, perhaps separate issues is that blocks used to be that blocks configured before making a backup would also be configured in the restore. This no longer seems to be the case with the blocks I'm using.
