9 Hours!

I am trying to figure out if the steps I have taken to recover an image I made today is progressing appropriately or if I have done something wrong.

The "time remaining" goes up pretty reglaurly. It now says 9 hours in the Archive Verification screen (I booted from a bootable media disk made from Acronis).

It looks like it is alright but the 9 hours worries me. It did not take even one hour to create the back up files.

Hi Manny Papes, welcome to Wilders.

I have moved your thread here where it will receive better attention.

Cheers

 

Thanks. I am new to the posting world.

Are you at all familiar with TI software?

 

You are welcome.

I am, however I use its basic functions and have not had a issue other than one time requiring a newer build. Someone else will come along that will be able to help you further.

Cheers

 

I have gone into the recovery mode. It is again giving me rediculous time.

From a few minutes to now 8 hours.

I guess I will let it run the rest of the night.

 

Manny don't miss this essential point.

 

Restoring within Windows takes the same time as doing the backup.

Restoring from the ATI Rescue CD takes backup time multiplied by 3.

Restoring from BartPE CD (with ATI Plugin) takes the same time as doing the backup.

The ATI estimated time at the start of an operation is unreal. As the operation progresses, the estimated time gets adjusted and becomes reliable.

Notwithstanding the above, 9 hours to restore a backup which took 1 hour to complete denotes a problem. What is the media with the archive, USB HDD, DVD?

 

I am running the recovery in Windows. I guess if this does not work I can try therough the bootable disk. Is that advisable?

I placed the ATI back up files (4) on an external 80 GB HD that was cleaned of any other stuff.

I tried placing the files on the same internal (laptop) HD to see what would happen and it didn't accept the parameters (rightly so!).

The timing went up to 12 hours, and it is now at 6 hours. I have left it running all night, and will leave for the rest of the day.

I have calls in to the ATI support but after all I have been through I would be surprised if I got an actual answer (even a voicemail would surprise me!).

On the flip side it has not given me any error messages.

 

Is your backup in a USB drive? If so, is it a 2.0 USB port (back panel)?
