Calculating Time takes hours

Thread needs solution

Hello,

to me it is inconvenient not knowing how long a backup will take until it is finished.

In my case it takes more than 2 hours until the remaing backup time has been calculated.

I would think that it could be accomplished in seconds using the MFT; just like tools like Everything do.

Thank you

Andreas

Andreas, welcome to these public User Forums.

There have been lots of complaints about the way Acronis changed ATI in version 2020 & 2021 such that it takes a long time to calculate the time needed for the backup.  As such I can only recommend taking one or more of the following approaches:

  • Submit Feedback to Acronis to complain about the behaviour using the tool provided, or else by opening a support ticket with them.  I wouldn't expect any immediate result or change for doing so, especially as Acronis have already indicated the end of life of ATI 2021 and announced it as being rebranded sometime in September as Acronis Cyber Protect Home Office!
     
  • Schedule your backup tasks for a time when you are not watching the computer, i.e. when at work or in bed asleep!  This is the approach I use myself!
     
  • Any other approach would involve either regressing to an earlier version of ATI where this issue didn't exist, or else trying a different backup application!
