Thanks for the quick reply.

I see some creation of tables up to the exceptions, then it is starting to restore data, it was in the first table which is quite huge, it remains there for a long time and show 1000 records, this took several hours already,

I started the same restoration in the linux, it was finished while os x restore still shows around 1G file size done, the entire database is around 10000 records, file size is 14G.
