Maximum capacity to be secured

Thread needs solution

Dear community,
i use an old ATI2013 and have the problem that i get error messages
(time overshoot) when i want to create a backup (round about 950GB
to save). I want to upgrade to ATI2017 and my question is how much
capacity can I save without an error with ATI2017?
Tks Frank

Given your limited information provided I assume your current 2014 product times out during a backup of 950GB.  I am not aware of any reason for that happening and will say this is the first reference I have seen of such an event for any product version.  That leads me to think you might have an issue that is specific to your machine.  Possibly an external drive where you are saving the image times out the connection.

Same for me.  Haven't had an issue with backups timing out.  However, my largest backup job is only 150Gb as well and usually only takes about an hour going from one spinning drive to another spinning drive in the same machine that are directly attached to the motherboard.

However, not sure if your 950GB is also trying to be created as a single file or not - which may be part of the problem.  One large file like that may be tough to find contiguous space for.  You could also try setting a specific .tib size so it breaks it into smaller chunks - perhaps 100GB, maybe even 50GB.  As your destination disk starts using up more space, there is going to be less and less contiguous space available.

Some external USB drives have power saving settings that can kick in if the PC has no physical input - even if the PC is actually doing something with it.  Likewise, computers can try to go into power saving modes (spin down hard drives, usb selective suspend), if there is no physical interaction after some time.  If the external usb is trying to sleep (or the USB port it is using), that could caus issues.  YOu may want to try setting your power setting to High performance, and disabling usb selective suspend and disabling hard drive power down as well.
