Data Recovery and Disk Utilities Forum @R-TT

My startup disk is an SSD Western Digital 500GB Black SN750 NVMe M.2 PCIe 3.0. I normally do a full backup every day (the startup disk as 146GB of data) with a compress level in commitment between size and speed - image file size: ~80GB) and this takes about 25 minutes. I tested other flagship backup/imaging products and the time was always higher or similar. My question for the community, are my imaging times ok, or should be better?

My SSD times:


The backup destination is an external usb 3.0 hdd Seagate ST8000DM004 with ~100MB/s write speed.

Update time with build 7303: 18min 8 sec

Image time with WD Caviar Black 8TB internal SATA-3 hard disk: 11min 47sec



So, the faster the destination drive, the faster the backup is...

Hdd as destination is just different and if you now get similiar timings with other programs I'd say it's probably working for you as should plus your write speed matches well, but previous reply before you by "Indaliax" he seem to have same issues as I did, but for me latest builds are working correctly now so maybe they are still looking in to this?, they did say they're working on it in another thread and being aware of the problem

My diskpeeds are in 7000MB/s range and I could not possibly go under 25 minutes with even half your Image size with previous builds, therefore it's probably working for you as you're even faster than that with hdd's

Version: 7.3 Compilation 7305 remains just as slow as always.
