Acronis true image 2016
It takes 3 days to make an image in windows 8.1.
Any clues as to how to fix this?

How big is the source drive?
=500gigs.
How is your
> backup drive connected (UsB 2.0 or 3.0, network). =USB 2.0
Are you using a NAS device or an external hard drive and what kinds of
drives are in them (hybrid
> drive, spinning drive, SSD drive).
No idea what NAS is.The destination drive is connected direct to the puter
through usb port
No other drives attached.

Hi Howie. NAS is network attache storage. Personal NAS devices like the WD mycloud are a good example, but since you're not using one, no biggie.
USB 2.0 is definitely going to be slower, but I can't imagine why 500GB would take that long. I wold think that maybe 1/2 a day (at most) would be it. It seems like you may have slow connection with your USB drive, or possibly an issue reading the source drive or possibly an issue with the destination drive (I'm assuming it's a bit older since it's only using USB 2.0). Mabye check out the free version of hard disk sentinel and see what it shows for the health of both drives and the estimated remaining life. If both look good, then you can use something like Lanspeedtestlite (free) to run some read/write tests to the backup drive (start with 1GB and run it 3 times to get an average). It is designed to show network transfer speeds, but works just fine for local transfers as well. If it is showing low transfer rates, you may want to consider a new backup drive (USB 3.0 - especially if your system has UsB 3.0 ports).
If you want, you can also download FTRPilots' log viewer app (check the stickes in the 2016 forum) and check the backup logs with it. You can post a few of them here for some review as well which may help identify the issue.

I got it to work!
I changed the plug from the little usb hub to its own port at the rear.It saved entire pc then validated the data in about 3 hours!

Nice! Yeah, USB hubs can be a real pain - especially "el cheap-o's" and some nonpowered ones just don't have enough juice unless you have a self-powered hard drive. In cases, even the front ports (or back ports) do not have the same power efficiency or transfer speed either and the more cables, hubs and adapters between the PC and the disk, the more likely to find trouble along the way. I use USB hubs all the time (new tablets and ultrabooks almost demand them), but when there is trouble with a connected device, the hub is usually my first thought.
