Restoring files Takes Ages
Hi,
We are using Acronis Cyber Backup 12.5 for our daily backup. We have a physical server with 2 hard disk partitions. We do a weekly full server backup. Now I need to restore the server on a VM for some tests. The VM has different specs than the original server. For drive C: (and MBR) I did a full vloume restore, which worked fine, and I can boot the VM normally. For drive D:, the original servers hard disk total capacity is larger than the destination VM hard disk size. So I had to select a subset of the files in the backup to restore them. The total size of selected files is about 1.6 TB (Destination hard disk is 1.8TB). The restore process has been going on for more than 48 hours, and it reached %67 so far. Just for comparison, restoring hard disk C: which is 0.6 TB took around 8 hours only.
When I check the current job details, no errors are shown. Its working but deadly slow !!
Note: I am booting the VM from Acronis bootable recovery CD, and run it directly from there.
What can be the reason for this??
Thanks in advance
