2011 Restore takes hours

Thread needs solution

Hello:

I just built a new system with an SSD drive. I installed 2011 (just purchased before 2012 came out), and went on my way. I had a corrupted install of a program and instead of hacking the registry, I though would restore a non-stop backup point. I chose the point and started.

It's still going, and it's taking hours. It hasn't hung--it's slowly restoring the drive. Mind you it's an SSD with only 29gigs on info. It should take maybe 20 minutes or so. 2010 ATI would have finished long ago.

Any ideas? Thank you.

DanP,

The last and unique time I restore a NSB in partition mode, the speed was as fast as a regular image restore (about 10mn for the same size of data you have).

Let it go through.

I'd recommend you always keep a regular image (disk and partition backup) of your SSD that is never too old for you to go back to in case your NSB doesn't meet your expectations when you need it.

Thank you. It just finished, and the disk wouldn't boot. It went into a Vista type boot screen, and then reported that the disk needed repair and it couldn't repair it. I then tried to restore the system reserve partition I had backed up with ATI, and was told the partition was not large enough even though it was the same partition backed up. Now, I'm using another backup--a manual backup I made earlier, not a non-stop one.

As I typed this, the backup completed--in about 5 minutes! And, it works fine. Wow. I guess the non-stop backups are an issue with my system, so I'll stay away from that with my OS partition.

Thanks again.

This is what I ended up doing: stay away from NSB for system restore. The only time I tried, the recovery failed and some software activation showed up. I have never had any issue with regular disk and partition backups.
