R-Drive Image: Mount arc file as a virtual drive is crapware
Posted: Mon Dec 17, 2012 3:35 pm
So, I used rdrive image to make an image of my failed drive. At first it made compressed image (default settings) and I simply wasted a day of my life waiting for it to finish and after that I wasn't able to restore data from that image (copying was exceptionally fucking slow and would take weeks to complete). SO, I made another uncompressed image of the same drive. This time the .arc file was 750GB instead of 320GB. I mounted it as a virtual drive and try to copy my shit. After copying a few gigs of data my pc consumes 10BG of ram and not a single process on its own consumes more than 100-200MB, only when I unmount the virtual drive from r-data disk image ram consumption drops from 10GB back to normal 1-2GB.
So, simply question: did u actually test that crap before you sell it, or that feature is present there as a freebee and wasn't mean to be used by people.
PS. I don't want to restore all that stuff to another new drive. I simple want to restore old failed drive to a directory on my pc and I want all this to happen while I still use my pc, that was my scenario.
