BU too fast!

Thread needs solution

I bought 2 copies of True image for 6 computers. It appears to be working on 3 taking several hours for BU. the 4th is a Dell Precision 490 running windows 7 64bit. The backup took MINUTES and the resulting file is about half the prior backup using AOMEI. It validated but I can't believe it is right. HELP!

Patrick, welcome to these User Forums.

Please download the MVP Log Viewer tool and check the log file for your 4th backup task on the Dell Precision 490 which should give you an indication of any issues that may have arisen during the process.

It is difficult to compare between ATI and AOMEI as I have no experience of the latter and thus don't know what key differences may be in play here?

If you have made a Disk & Partitions backup for the Dell Precision computer, you could mount this backup to a drive letter then do a comparison between the contents of the backup and the source contents of your OS drive.

If the Windows 7 machine is just that, a Win 7 install without other apps or just a few, then it is possible for True Image to backup the entire drive is just a few minutes particularly if you are using an SSD drive.
