Very long restoration
Hello
Following a crash of my PC I am obliged to restore my data disk also
Each directory on this disk has a separate backup
Is it normal for a backup of more than 250 GB to take more than 24 hours to restore?
Thanks for your help

Thank you for that answer
SATA 6 internal data disk: formatted before restoration
Disk that contains backups: USB 3
Many small files, a few thousand

Louis, thank you for the answers. Not sure that I can tell you any more other than to continue with your recovery of your directories.

Restorations work (that's the main thing) but they are long
The remaining time displayed is completely wacky
Thank you

File/folder restores are typically slower than disk or partitions restores. They take longer when restoring in Windows and/or to the original location where other files and folder structures are in place. The deeper folders and files are nested, along with the number of files and file sizes, the slower it will be too. This is typically Windows behavior and ability to write based on hardware limits. Manufacturers post random specs, but the speeds that make the difference are the 4K sequential read/write speeds as they give a much better representation of this exact type of restore.

The restoration is made from the rescue media CD

Louis, the comments from Rob (Bobbo) would still apply when using boot media and perhaps be a little slower because of not having the same caching / paging features that Windows can offer.

Ok, thank you for your answers
The main thing is that restorations work
