I am wondering if someone in the community with a USB external drive and a motherboard with an ICH10 or ICH10R southbridge (in "IDE compatible" mode,  not AHCI or RAID) would please test the boot rescue media CD from True Image Home 2010 and run a little test.

I'm after raw speed figure, e.g. backing up a disk image to  their external drive. can you perhaps give me the time it took (as close as possible) and the resultant image size? or just calculate it and perhaps give a speed in MB/sec.

Thanks

Hello Ozzy,

Thank you using Acronis Products
It depends on USB drive connection. E.g. USB 1.1 speed is 12 mbit/sec and USB 2.0 max speed is 480 mbit/sec
For example you backup 27Gb of data, the approximate speed will be the following:
Using USB 1.1 will take approximately 18000 sec = 300 min
Using USB 2.0 will take approximately 450 sec = 7,5 min

Hi Ozzy this is my first post. I have the ICH10R Southbridge and use a USB external drive and use the IDE (for now until I get Windows 7, then I will use AHCI) compatible mode and just installed ATI Home 2010 and am going to make the Bootable Rescue Media CD in a minute and will let you know the time it took to to backup the disk image to the external drive and the image size as well. I'm not sure I can show you the speed in MB/sec, if ATI will show that info. Dmitry, that's true info too. It shows my USB speed at 1.1 in Everest, but this motherboard supports 2.0 USB speeds. I may have to use the dongle attached to the motherboard USB connections to get the 2.0 speed. Ozzy also when I had ATI Home 2009, my time to backup the disk image to the USB External drive was about 7 mins or little less, so I may have 2.0 USB speeds after all, not sure. And that was backing up about 24GB of data.

Hi Dmitry & SoraFTW

Thanks for the replies.

The reason I ask is that I found in my testing (for me at least), backup and restore speed has been slow in Linux (somewhat of a known 'issue') in previous Linux rescue media. Now there are workarounds with BartPE plugin, etc., to achieve a speed boost by utilising Windows drivers, but I do like/prefer the official rescue CD media.

In 2010, hold your horses...! I can back up from internal-disk to internal-disk at 50MB/sec and about 29MB/sec from internal disk to external USB 2.0 HDD. My previous speeds were about 16MB/sec and 6MB/sec respectively. [Intel hardware used, with ICH7 and ICH9 southbridges.]

Now I'm about to implement an ICH10 setup and am interested to know if I can expect these speeds within the Linux environment.. because I will be very happy if so!

SoraFTW, it would be much appreciated if you could run the Linux rescue CD media test. Unfortunately you don't get a speed/throughput reading automatically, so it requires a little calculation. so if you could please tell me a) how long it took to actually complete (using a watch if you have :P) and the resulting image size, we can calculate from there.

Thanks!

Hi Ozzy, I wouldn't know where to get the Linux rescue CD media test from, can you tell me where to get it, I don't have Linux OS either.  Those speed sound real good to. By the way, my time last night backing up 29GB on my USB external drive to an image backup was 10 minutes. Thanks :)

Sorry SoraFTW, I have confused the situation a little.

The 'Linux rescue CD' referred to above is the official Acronis 'bootable rescue/recovery media'; it's basically a cut-down version of Linux which is why i referred to it as 'Linux rescue CD'. Sorry for the confusion :o

The 'test' i referred to is simply my own test, not an official one you launch from a menu or anything. It's simply the process of (from within the bootable recovery media!) to make a backup image to an external USB drive and timing it.

With the 29GB you mentioned, was that the resulting image file size, or the original data source? This was using the 'Bootable Recovery Media', right?

Thanks again!

Hi Ozzy, thanks for explaining that to me too :) The 29GB size was the backup from my internal hard drive to my external USB hard drive. That was the size of the image backup. I used the backup process in ATI to backup my entire disk, not within the bootable rescue media CD, I wouldn't know how to do that. I would use the Bootable Resuce Media CD to restore my backup if I needed to. Oh wait, do you mean how long it would take to restore the image using the Bootable Rescue Media CD as well? Sorry I got confused to lol.

Hi again.

Cool, I understand now 29GB being the image file size. OK that part is good.

Not quite, I was wondering how long it would take to backup using the Bootable Rescue Media CD.

If you feel like expanding your experience, would you be willing to try making a backup using the Bootable Rescue CD? It's an extremely simple process of following the wizard, selecting the disk (the same as in Windows) and selecting the backup destination. The wizard actually has pretty decent defaults in that you don't need to change anything except give it a destination. There are no tasks to schedule or anything, it's quite a cut-down process.

If you would be willing to try it and time the backup process, i'd be most appreciative! The image size will be practically the same, so about 29GB. the only question is, how long it will take (if any longer).

Cheers.

I don't see a wizard in there but I did the backup of the 29GB using the same method, selecting the disk and then the backup desination, being the external USB drive. Would that be the same as using the Wizard, which I can't find in there? Thanks.

It took me 10 minutes exactly to backup 29GB to my  USB external hard drive. What was you're time?

Can you just confirm those figures were using the bootable rescue CD?

(I don't have a time yet, as I'm using ICH7/ICH9 motherboards.. but am about to get ICH10 setup and wanted to check the speeds of someone with an ICH10 board)

Cheers for your help

I wasn't using the Bootable Rescue CD when I backed up, do you mean how long did it take to create the Bootable Resuce CD? I wouldn't know how to backup using the Rescue CD, just to restore image. Sorry about all the confusion Ozzy.

No worries.

Yes, that's essentially what I'm after; how long it takes to create a backup whilst using the Rescue CD.

I think the backup procedure is easier than restoring using the Rescue CD. You only need to select the source of what you want to backup, and a destination (i.e. external USB). So if you're worried about it being hard or about breaking something, you can't really.

I'll have to try that, to backup using the Rescue CD, I've never done it that way, I always used the ATI program to start a backup, good to know that info, thanks Ozzy, I'll have to give that a try.  That does sound easier than the wizard in ATI too.
