.tib windows explorer browsing takes a long time to load each folder level or file
I tried to install TrueImage 2017 [b6206] on a fresh Win8.1 x64 OS install. I could not customize the install, so only the default installation worked. It was primarily so that I could open a files/folders .tib backup file that was created with TI 2014 [About 30GB]. I could not mount it (not a complete disk backup, I can only browse the file contents via windows explorer, which is fine.
The problem was that it was taking 40-90 seconds to load each folder level within the backup. dllhost.exe would get really busy during the load time (disappears when the folder finally loads). It was extremely painful to even consider copying some folders as the load time was unacceptable. I restarted and nothing changed. All other windows folders were fine....the contents load almost instantly after clicking.
I wondered if it was all the excess crap Acronis 2017 installed. So luckily I recorded the installation with Revo Uninstaller and was able to do a complete uninstall (removing every trace of Acronis True Image 2017 with all components) after reboot.
I then installed TI 2014 and I tried to load the .tib file and it was still taking 30-50s to load each folder. I almost gave up and then I right-click on the file > True Image > recover . Some file properties dialog box came up and it 'searched for previous version'. From that point forward, browsing the .tib file was pretty fast loaded instantly.
BUT, I try to copy and paste folders within the 30gb tib file via windows explorer and it seems like it takes forever or causes an internal crash. Is there a limit to how much MB of file[s] that I can copy simultaneously?
