ATI 2010 - Data image of 1TB folder

Thread needs solution

File size vs. "time to create image"

I'm attempting to create images of some fairly large folders/files.
Anything from 100GB to 1.1TB

Any input would be appreciated

Normal small business data along with converted movie DVD's,...
Running WinXP on a performance workstation.
Saving the image to a "network" computer across a Gigabit LAN.

Creating images of a 10GB folder happens fairly quickly.
However a 100GB folder takes "MUCH, MUCH LONGER" than 10 times that time.
It doesn't appear to be a linear relationship at all.

Question #1:
Is this indeed the case that larger files can be a problem.

Question #2:
Does LAN add to the issue.
Do large files involve extremely small packet sizes or something?

Question #3:
Are there some settings/setup that speeds large files?

Brian:

If you are backing up data files you are much better off to use Karen's Replicator (freeware). This will back up your files by a simple "copy" process. The files in the backup are able to be run without decompressing them or whatever.

Replicator will copy every file you specify the first time, and after that it will only copy new or changed files. Slick.

Since it is a simple copy process, I'll bet that it will work to a networked computer.

Save TI for images of the operating system and installed programs.

I tried Karen's and this isn't what I desire.
I like the acronis compressed incremental images.
I can go back in time and see earlier versions of my current documents,...

I'd really like to address my three questions within Acronis, not switch solutions.

Thanks for your help
