I can't imagine you sysvol is that large. I wouldn't think more than 5
minutes.

Thank you Paul, a firm answer from a trusted source, I couldn't ask
for more... but I will :)

How long should this process last taking into account the 5-10 minutes
or so needed to transfer ~500mb worth of data on NETLOGON?

If you have a good working copy of your sysvol in your domain and you
have
an upstream (Good replicating partner) then you want to do a
non-authoritative restore. Which is to say that another DC has a good
copy
of the sysvol to provide back to this dc's sysvol.

If you were to do an authoritative restore then all data from the DC you
set
as authoritative would overwrite the sysvol in all other dc's and this
isn't
what you want in your situation.

So you want D2 - nonauthoritative mode restore
