Acronis Survival Kit Creation Taking hours!

Thread needs solution

It has been in the preparing state for over an hour now.  How long is this supposed to take???

Kathy, it should only take a short time to prepare an external drive for use as a Survival Kit drive but this can depend on the size of the drive and the current file system used for the drive.

If Acronis is showing 'Preparing' or Calculating...  on the status of the backup task, then this may be more related to the associated backup operation to that external drive.
