The baffling case of the mysterious back-up duration

Thread needs solution

Dear All,

This morning (at around 09.00) I started a full backup using Acronis True Image 2020. Everything went well and when it got to the 30 min. remaining mark ,I switched on the 'auto computer switch off' facility and left .When I got home this evening there was a Acronis surprise waiting for me... it said '1 minute back up time remaining ' Now unless I hit the Twilight Zone, something went terribly wrong somewhere... Any brilliant solutions out there that would solve this time warp ? Cheers !

Dick, welcome to these public User Forums.

Sorry but too little information to suggest why the backup took as long as you say!

What exactly is included in your Full backup here?
Is this an 'Entire PC' backup and if so, how many disk drives are involved / connected?

What is the size of this source data?

Where are you backing up to?  What is the destination here?

What options have you selected for the backup task?

All of the above can directly influence the length of time the backup takes.
