| | Backup software for Vista I am trying to figure out why backup for Vista has become slow. I am talking about taking 10 hours to backup a Vista Home Premium machine with 2 gbs. of ram to do a backup on 35 gb's of data ? I have tried Gost 12, Acronis 11 Home and O&O Dosk Image 2.1. Any ideas? Prior to 11/22/07, backup took about 30 minutes. thanks |

Are you possibly starting with a new backup where before you did an incremental? That's about all I can think of unless you've changed your backup device? I have a partition I've used and it's MUCH faster than using my portable hard drive which is USB 2.0. -- XS11E, Killing all posts from Google Groups The Usenet Improvement Project: http://improve-usenet.org |

| | Re: Backup software for Vista I am backup up to a USB Extreal drive which I have used before. I make full backups. Device is USB 2 and I am connecting to USB 2 port. This backup is working faster. I guess using a USB 1.1 hub makes a difference. Thanks for the idea.
