ATI Home 2012 - Recovery succeeded but was extremely slow
Hi,
I had a disk crash (SSD) last friday and I launched a full disk recovery from a network server (100 Mbps) and by booting from the recovery DVD (my system was no longer able to boot). I used an incremental backup. The full backup size is about 27 GB and the size of the 4 incremental backups that are associated with the full backup is about 400 MB each.
Usually, creating the full backup archive takes about 1 hour and each incremental backup takes a few minutes. Recovering from these archives (sector by sector) took about **22 hour**s. The restoration was perfect but I'd like to understand what can cause such a slow recovery process.
I have seen that I'm not alone observing this behavior. Some experts explained that this can be due to many bad sectors on the target disk but this is not the case. I have checked the disk, there's no bad sector at all. After the restoration, the SSD is working fine and at normal speed. My network is fast and the network server is able to deliver data at a high rate. So I don't see any bottleneck anywhere which could explain such a low transfer rate.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for answering.

It's a wired network. As mentioned above, creating a backup image into the very same folder just takes one hour.

I do use a UNC path to access all resources on this server. I have no permanently mapped drive. So when the backup image is created, ATI records a UNC path and that's what the standalone DVD version also used when accessing the server. Unless I'm missing something obvious, I don't see why a mapped drive should make transfers faster. Moreover, if I used a mapped drive, how would react the ATI standalone DVD version when looking for the archive? Is this program able to re-create a mapped drive?
Anyway, I also use a UNC path when creating the backup image and again, this only takes one hour. The only difference being that the backup image is created from Windows while the recovery is processed from the standalone DVD version of ATI.
By the way, I also noticed, when selecting the archive and choosing the "Recover" command, that ATI needed a very long time to identify the contents of the archive. Same problem when jumping from one step to another in the recovery wizard.

Any good news about this issue in TIH 2015 ?
