Recovery runs extremely slow?

Thread needs solution

Running the latest TI2015 (6525) on Windows 7 x64.

I have been trying to restore some large file from my backup but they are running far too slow to be of any practical use. Extimated time is about a week!

It's around 140GB of files. Going from a HD to a SSD. My system has a i7-5960X processor and 64GB ram.

I can copy a ordinary copy of the files from the same source to the same destination in around 20 mins.

I've set the restore priority to the highest but it's hardly taking any CPU time (<10%) and is running at around 1MB per second.

A while back I restored a similar set of files and it took less than a couple of hours.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to why the restore isn't running properly? The backup seems to function ok and validates the files.

I created a new backup set and I get the same again when trying to restore a single large file (140GB) from my 2 disk backup.

During the backup it stores data at a rate of over 200MB/sec. Trying to recover a single large file it runs at around 1MB/sec!

I reinstalled TI and that didn't make any difference. The logs don't show any unusual behaviour or errors. You can see the change of priority to high in there but I'm not convinced it's working at anywhere near maximum capacity.

Although it was showing nearly a week for the estimated time, from the rate it is going at I assume it will take 1.5 days which is ridiculous when it takes less than 20 mins to copy the file.

Any ideas anyone?

I've had it with True Image. I've used it for 5 years now and although it's feature rich it's also bug infested!

I don't like the fact that I have to pay to report a bug and then have to deal with substandard support who to date haven't solved any of the problems I've presented to them.

Take this issue. There's obviously some fault at work here. I tried a competitor's software and had no problems. It restored the same files from the disk in 20 mins compared to Acronis at nearly 2 days supposedly at highest priority!

Also, the other software was easier to use, had all the features I required. Guess what, I using permanetly instead of TI now.

Goodbye and thanks for all your help!
