SURFACE PRO WIN 8.1 - VERY SLOW BACK UP TO USB DRIVE USING ACRONIS TI-14

Thread needs solution

HAVE INSTALLED TI-14 IN 2 COMPUTERS, (1) INTEL EXTREME RUNNING XP SP3 & (2) A NEW SURFACE PRO 2 RUNNING WIN 8.1.
THE XP COMP WILL BACK UP A FULL DISC IN 4 HR, 300GB TO A USB-2 HARD DRIVE.
THE SURFACE TAKES 3 HR TO BACK UP 7GB. TO A USB 2 HARD DRIVE.
I HAVE 3 EXTERNAL USB-2 HARD DRIVES & I HAVE TRIED 2 OF THEM & HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM.
ALSO THE SURFACE, USING A USB CD/RW WILL NOT BURN A BOOT DISK, IT STARTS, GETS TO THE END & JUST HANGS. THE XP COMP DOES IT FINE WITH THE SAME DRIVE.

Sounds like driver problems to me. All drivers current for all devices under Win 8.1?

With the help of Microsoft Support, I did resolve my issue.

But, for all other Acronis Users who will buy a Surface or a Surface Pro, or a Surface Pro 2, here is the STEP-BY-STEP procedure so that Acronis performs without problems (PLEASE INSERT THOSE INSTRUCTION INTO THE ACRONIS DATABASE):

1) Copy the Acronis Set-up file on the Surface computer
2) REMOVE the TOUCH or TYPE Keyboard (purchased with the Surface unit)
3) Using the DOCKING STATION (IF YOU PURCHASED ONE FOR YOUR Surface) or use an external USB HUB
4) Plug-into that HUB an external Mouse & Keyboard
5) Plug-into that HUB the USB key you want to set-up as an Acronis USB boot USB (Recovery)
6) Now, on the SURFACE or SURFACE PRO, Install ACRONIS
7) Shutdown
8) Restart HOLDING the VOLUME KEY UP
That will bring you into the UEFI menu
Disable the SECURE BOOT option
SAVE SETTINGS - SAVE SETTINGS AND EXIT
9) RESTART the SURFACE normally
10) Start ACRONIS
11) In TOOLS,create the Acronis Secure Zone and give it a confortable size (depending on the storage space you purchased)
12) Next, ACTIVATE, the F11 (Acronis Start UP Recovery Manager)
Note: For no. 11 and 12 above, if you did not disable the Secure Boot option in the UEFI, it will not work)
13) Reboot
14) Create your USB with Acronis Media Builder
15) Disconnect the External Keyboard, et re-install the Microsoft TOUCH or TYPE keyboard into your SURFACE

REMEMBER:

If you need to activate Acronis with the F11 key, REMOVE the Microsoft TOUCH or TYPE keyboard BEFORE pressing the F11 key and install an EXTERNAL mouse & keyboard.
If you need to use your Acronis USB recovery key, START your SURFACE holding the VOLUME key UP until you see the Acronis Boot menu and SELECT 1 (Acronis)
NOTE: You will need an EXTERNAL KEYBOARD and a HUB (or the DOCKING STATION) where you insert the Acronis USB key AND the external keyboard AND mouse.

I did all that on a SURFACE PRO 2 - 512 GB and everything works perfectly.

Jipps ...
that's also my way ...

I had a long call with Surface Support Center regarding the TOUCH-Type Cover ... because that is not supported in the DOS-mode … very annoying
Thanks for this summary
