Full Backups taking a long time

Thread needs solution

Hi,

I;m a new user of ATI, moved over from Macrium. However, that took < 1 hour to create a full backup of one 2TB m.2 (which has only 648GB used).

I do full backups each day to a SATA drive in the same PC. ATI took 1.5 Hours on the first day, and subsequent backups are taking longer each day, today I'm on my 6th day, again each day is the same as the first, a full backup, I'm coming up to hour 6 and it's still only at 87%.

I've given the process a higher priority, all resulting backup files are more or less the same size when done ~345GB

This sounds very excessive, something in its settings must be wrong here?

I'll get the config files if required, but I can't as yet as it's backing up.

Thanks, Ian

Hallo Ian Bevington,

Welche Acronis Software wird verwendet?

Wenn ATI 2020, oder eine neuere Acronisversion verwendet wird, könnte man das alte .tib format probieren.

Hi,

It's very common and becoming excessive.

To address this issue, you can try the following steps and might be it can resolve your issue:

  1. Check Backup Settings

  2. Examine Disk Health

  3. Update Software

  4. Close Background Applications

  5. Disable Antivirus

By following these steps, you can identify and resolve the possible causes of the slow backup process in Acronis True Image.
