Creating huge tib files/2 hours+ in Win7
Just got the New true image 2014- I was using the older Acronis true image 8.1 enterprise with great success/small TIB files/and fast save time even on many win7 systems however on newer computers it would not load but when it did it worked great..
...The Drive is am trying to back up is a 1Tb drive with 3 partitions
...The C drive is partitioned at 500gb and a backup D drive of 450GB
...The C drive has ONLY 40gb of total data/programs
...The win7 recovery drive @100mb is small
...When doing a full backup of the C drive to the D drive -- and the 100mb recovery partion is also checked-- it is creating a 196gb tib file (when the backup sector by sector is checked)- taking over 2 hours!!
...And it even created a 190gb tib file when the sector by sector is unchecked for both the C and the recovery
...Even backing up just the C only it takes 2 hours and creates a large file...
SO what am I doing wrong- I cant imagine its the 2014 program as I have used the older version a hundred times on various computers without these kinds of issues..

Don't use sector by sector. That copies every sector on your hard drives.

I'm not using sector by sector

Hello ~FLOW~,
can you please describe your steps when you back up your Linux Mint? Which version of Acronis True Image do you use?
Thank you.

Acronis 2014 - 17.0.6673 - Live CD
Backing up Linux Mint 17 XFCE with 4 partitions - ext4
After booting I have selected
Backup My Disks
select the hole disk
(Back up sector-by-sector - NOT SELECTED
Back up unallocated space - inactive)
Backup Method -> Full
Compression Level -> Maximum
Archive Validation -> Validate - selected
These are the settings I always choose
The backup took about 6 hours and from ~7 Gb of data, I've got a 84 .tib file
With Windows I don't have this weird problem

same thing with 6688 version
just try to backup, a fresh Linux Mint
I will try to see if it's the same if I install a new Linux Mint with only one partition.

Any one finds a solution for this, pls update the forum. Lets also bring this to notice to Acronis support guys.

i have just made a backup test
HDD = 250 Gb
1. fresh linux mint install (2 partitions - ext4, swap)
2. all updates installed (used space after ~7.5Gb)
3. backup with Acronis v. 6688 - with NO CHANGES to the default options
result : after 2 hours = 92Gb .tib
