Cloud backup after upgrading to Windows 10 (from Win 8.1) x64 - 30 days and counting! Problem Now Solved
Normally a full backup to he cloud of the system partitions of my computers takes about 2 days. After the update to Windows 10 the update is claimed to take 29 or 30 days and the processing has slowed to snail pace. While the files to be baked up are larger (includes Win 10 installation and Old Windows in case a user decides to downgrade), that should not even double the time taken.
I suspect the problem is with the ATI driver provided through Microsoft Update (optional download). That driver works as expected with Win 8.1 (I did a full backup shortly after loading the new driver), but I suspect it has issues with Win 10 when in its support for backup to Acronis cloud.

You could be right about it being an NIC issue.
I have NIC problems on one unit; was not displaying the NIC in device manager. So, I ran the installation program for the NIC and gave remover or repair, so I removed it, rebooted and all was well. The other system (same motherboard) did not have this problem. I will see if there is a Win10 64 specific driver on the NIC manufacturers www site (I think it is a Broadcom one).
Did not have the same issue on a much older system(GA-EP45-UD3R main board) with ATI2016 beta 3.

Did a driver update request and was told I had latest version. Did some digging around and notice a stream of error messages being produced by the NIC. Removed and deleted the drive, loaded an ancient driver from the installation CD (ver 14.8.0.5) and now I am told that it will take a more respectable 35 hours.
Looks like the Microsoft Certified NIC drive from Windows update may be broken (Broadcom version 15.6.0.14).
