    When i tried this software some months ago and i wanted to make the first snapshot,after aprox 40 minutes it was at 45% of the job.What??Paragon Backup and Restore 2010 does the WHOLE job in about 25 minutes.I'm talking about the C Drive,80 gigs free from 121.:thumbd:

    It's possible that it does a different type of image/backup. There are incremental backups or full image backups etc and the speed to create/restore them is different for each one.

    I know the differences.I wrote THE FIRST SNAPSHOT,so it was a full backup.Macrium Reflect free "obtained" aprox the same time as Paragon.
