Slow computer after successful backup with TI 2010

Thread needs solution

Hi
I am a computing novice and this is my first posting so I hope I do not do things wrongly.

I have used Acronis True image succesfully for a long time and have just upgraded to Windows 7 Pro 64bit. I downloaded the trial of TI 2010 to see how it would work but have had a number of issues which I now appear to have resolved.I use the software mainly to make scheduled full backups.
One problem which I cannot solve even after trying a number of tips I have read in this forum is that after a successful and validated backup to a second hard disk, my computer runs very slowly and the hard disk activity light is constantly on. This can continue for some time after closing down True Image 2010. Task manager does not appear to show any processes which are hogging CPU usage . After ten minutes or so the activity ceases and all returns to normal. Is anybody else experiencing this difficulty and is there a cure. Thanks for any help.

All help would be appreciated as I would like to carry on using True Image rather than change to another product.

Robert:

Do you have indexing enabled on the disk where you store your images? If so, try turning off indexing on this disk. Windows may be trying to index the contents of your tib files. Also, TI 2010 added indexing support, so consult the TI2010 User Guide on page 144 to see how to disable it if this turns out to be the cause.

Thanks Mark, I will have a look now and post back when I have any news.

I looked at the drive on which I keep my images and indeed indexing was enabled. When I choose to turn it off I am asked whether I just want to disable it on the drive OR on the drive AND Folders and subfolders. I keep my images on the drive in a folder named images so I assume I have to go for the second option of Drive and folders and subfolders. ...Is this correct or does it not really matter?

Rob:

I would presume that just disabling indexing on the drive would be sufficient.
