I did post this on the flexraid forums but posts there often go unanswered and since I know this is a more active community here I decided to try here as well.

I am attempting this test and pretty new to the software though I've read a bit here already. For this test I am using whole drives as DRUs and PPUs. Raid 6 setup. 3 DRUs at 1.5TB and 2 PPUs at 2TB (all empty). I copy a different file to each of the DRUs. I do a rsynch as I imagine that is what basically takes the snapshot and creates parity. Validate and verify show success (though I'm not sure the difference). So I figure I have it at the state it should be to simulate failure. I then disconnect sata connection to one drive (DRU) internally while all is running. Drive disappears in windows explorer (obviously) but not in flexraid webUI. I logout and login and that updates it (not sure if another way). I validate/verify again and errors detected as I expect. All looks good so far. Then I go to the restore and attempt to restore to my PPU since plenty of space there for my one file test. Under restore I choose DRU 1 and type "U:" in the path since that is my PPU I want to restore to. I click the restore and see my file get created on the PPU. I don't try to open the file because it may be locked and don't want to break the process. The process in the webUI seems to hang and stays at 0%. This is a small file and I allowed a lot of time. Why?
Also I find the log file under - C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenEgg.org\FlexRAID Basic Host Service 1.4. I copy the log file so as not to lock it. Open the copied log file and find the restore starts at 13:07. It is 14:36 and the file was just a couple mbs so I'd expect it restored quickly. No further info in the log. Looks like process hangs. I have a 3.8ghz overclocked i7-930 with 12gb ram and corsair force ssd. It is idling and doing nothing the whole time. Help please!
