ATIH 2012 Pluspack disk to disk backup 100% slower than ATIH 2011PP
I just upgraded from Acronis True Image Home 2011 Plus Pack build 6942 to ATIH 2012 PP build 6154. I removed ATIH2011 using the remove function of Windows 7 and successfully installed ATIH 2012 PP. Nothing else was changed. At start it found all my backup files. Everything works flawlessly.
I defined a backup scheme that is in every detail exactly the same as the one I used under ATIH 2011PP. Under 2011 doing a full backup of my system partion and the Win 7 boot partition that holds about 220 GB of data to an internal 2 TB hardisk (with lots of space) lasted about fifty (50!) minutes. Now - under 2012 - it lasts almost exactly double the time, onehundred (100!) minutes for the same amount of data. I found that even the timespan it takes the program to examine the harddisk before creating the backup file has doubled.
While 50 minutes for the complete backup are acceptable in my environment, 100 minutes are not. What can I do to improve speed. Remember: I changed nothing, except upgrading the program.
I would be grateful for any help. Otherwise I will have to go back to ATIH2011PP until this is fixed.
Thanks

Just solved the issue.
In ATIH 2012 I used the same name for the backup (and files) as in ATIH 2011. I don't know how ATIH stores configuration files but somehow ATIH 2012 found the old configs of ATIH 2011 and got mixed up. I just set up a new backup with the same configuration but a new name for the backup files and now it works as expected. Same speed as ATIH 2011. Everything works flawlessly.
Anyway thanks for your hints on backup speed.
