Hello. When I try to make a file backup with Backup And Recovery 11, it always takes a lot of time. Like 15 hours, for a data set of about 15 gigabytes. Drive backups are reasonably fast - less than 3 hours for the same 120GB partition. Is there any way to speed it up?
Unfortunately, there is no way to speed it up it's the downside of doing file level. It is significantly slower than an image level backup.
I understand that it should be somewhat slower, but isn't ~2GB per hour way too much? I mean just copying those files manually would take no more than 30 minutes for me.
Those speeds do sound way off, please attempt to defrag the system as well as perform a checkdisk, one question though what RPM is your source and destination drive?
Did chkdsk, there were some problems with my target drive so I switched to a different one. Tried again, it took more than 16 hours. Using other backup software, it took 33 minutes. So, to be precise my current dataset is 35GB unpacked. I backup from a 7200 rpm to a 5900 rpm hard drive. Both are well defragged. The source is a true crypt encrypted system partition. Gonna try excluding particular folders from that backup script, maybe it struggles with some particular file or file type... UPD: Another thing I noticed now - when I try to cancel that task in progress, it just don't stop. Canceled one 10 hours ago and it's still going.
