Time for cloning

Thread needs solution

Hallo folks!

Working with acronis true image 8.0. with Windows 2000.
have tried to clone harddrive disk c:/d: to a new harddrive. e:/f:
it takes about 15 hours to clone about 19GB.
Is this normal? Is there anything wrong? Can I speed up this process?

Thanks to all

Hello Marius,

Let me clarify this situation for you.

Generally, slow performance with cloning \ backup operations can be caused by the following:

1. HDD errors \ issues

In this case I'd recommend you to check the disks for errors

- Go to the Command Prompt (Start -> Run -> cmd)
- Enter the command: "chkdsk DISK: /r"
where DISK is the partition letter you need to check. Please note, that
checking the C: drive may require you to reboot the machine.

2. Some third part software which slows the performance down. Please try to perform the operations using Acronis Bootable Media. To create it please follow: Tools -> Create bootable rescue media. Then boot your machine from it and you will be able to use Acronis True Image without booting any OS.
Acronis Bootable Rescue Media is a standalone version of Acronis True Image Home, burned onto a CD and based on a Linux operating system.

I'd like to make sure all your queries regarding Acronis products are resolved.
Additionally to this, you are welcome to ask me any other questions concerning Acronis, and I will assist you further.

Regards,
