Restore 2021 style.

Thread solved

2021 35860 took over 3 hours to restore a 91GB Tibx this morning. This is entirely unacceptable.

Win 10 fully updated

Samsung 870 1 TB SSD destination

Samsung 850 SSD 500gb donor

Backup method Full.

Restore method. Initiated from recovery CD.

All zappable Acronis protection is OFF.  Horses for courses I suggest.

Backups average well over an hour so I do them at night.

When will this speed problem be addressed? Bring back 2019. Anyway of transferring my 2020,2021or 2016 license to 2019. (2020 was a disaster too. I lost 15 years of photos as it failed to back up the photo folder contents not discovered until a restore). Still use 2016 on my wife's laptop.

Restoration times depend on several factors. The speed of the destination and donor drives (the speed will be faster if they are both M.2 NVMe drives rather than SATA (including M.2 SATA). On many motherboards the second M.2 port uses PCIe 2 rather than PCIe 3 (or with more modern boards PCIe 3 rather than PCIe 4). If USB ports are involved, you need to use the fastest one available.

It is also possible that the type of recovery media could have an impact (this may be more so the case if an M.2 drive is involved) - are you using Simple media (Windows RE) or one of the advanced (Windows PE or Linux). I have had problems with recent builds of the Linux Recovery media, particularly on systems with AMD CPU. Not sure the extent to which using DVD rather than USB stick would have on recovery time; once the recovery media is loaded it should make no difference.

Backups involving incremental or differential approach will take longer, particularly for incremental backups as there is a bit back and forth involved. However, here is is a full backup so that would not be a factor.

That said, 3 hours does seem excessive.

ATI 2019 iso does it in 20 minutes which is why I should like to download it and swap the licence.

Thanks for the input but it seems 20 and 21 were/are flawed products.

David, if you have bought a copy of any older versions of ATI and have registered the licenses to your Acronis Account, then you can download both the installation program and Linux based rescue media ISO image from your Account pages.

If you don't have such licenses, then you really need to open a support ticket direct with Acronis Support to request any reversion of your current ATI 2021 license to an earlier version.
