Hrm.  Which version is this?  There was a problem at one point where
you had to pay the retail cost of indexes when restoring, so you had
to manually drop all the indexes on the replica prior to building it,
or it'd basically never catch up.  I don't recall just now when that
was added as an automatic feature.  Check the docs for your release.

You can check that the COPYs are happening on the replica, though,
easily enough, with ps.  

Three days does seem rather a long time.
