Backup vs Recovery Speed
Posted: Tue Apr 22, 2014 9:30 am
Hi, the software is working great and is very fast for taking images. But I have a question about the amount of time it takes to recover the images. Here's an example scenario from this past weekend:
Is there a particular reason that it takes so much longer to recover the data than it does to back it up? Would it be faster if we chose Copy all partitions onto original places and then manually ran diskpart (or equivalent)?
Thanks for your time & input.
- We took a backup of a 465GB drive (entire drive, single partition, Windows, NTFS, about 90% full). The backup process took approximately 5 hours.
- We went to restore disks/partitions and chose to Expand/Shrink partition to whole disk. The restore process took approximately 26 hours.
