Extended backup time
Upgraded from 2011 to 2013 version. Full backup used to take 3 hours for 88 GB of data and 20 minutes for incremental backup. With 2013 and no other HD changes, estimated backup time starts at 19 hours and goes to 1 day, 2 hours, 45 minutes. I made one full backup and incrementals still take 20 minutes. Result - can't afford to backup and lose use of PC.

You should expect a backup time for partition/disk bakups of about 1 minute per GB or less, depending on how new your machine is. If on a new machne, I'd expect you to be able to backup to a USB3 drive in about 25 minutes. Incs would take much less time. I suspect a problem with your machine or one of your drives. Have youn chkdsk /f on both drives?

Backup settings are the same, including verification. Backup is to external 1TB Seagate drive via USB 2.

Don't connect via a hub, a port in a monitor, a USB extension cord, etc. Connect the external drive directly to a USB port on the rear of the computer case. See if that works better.

I ran chkdsk /f on both drives. This is a 6 year old XP machine. After running chkdsk I started another backup. Calculations for time left took several minutes and first displayed 10 hours. When it increased to 1 day and 1 hour, I canceled the job.

Did you do as I suggested for the connection?
Run chkdsk /r so it checks for bad sectors. It can be a good idea to run a drive testing utility from your drive manufacturer, as sometimes those catch errors missed by chkdsk.

It is connected directly to the computer

Without a full backup, I'm reluctant to run a /r. I'll check WD for a test utility

You can use a bootcD to make a backup then run chkdsk/r. Although, if chkdsk changes anything it will only be something already damaged.
If chkdsk runs okay then probl is probably that USB is being treated as USB 1, which makes file ops take about 3-10 times longer than USB2.

Also, you can safely ignore the time estimates provided by ATI. Let the backup complete to make sure of the duration.
Do the backup from the recovery CD and compare duration. IF the timing is sightly slower than Windows, you have a hardware issue (memory, disk connector internal or external). If the backup is much faster, you have a Windows driver issue.

I tried backing up to another external HD and times returned to normal. I checked the connections to the <1 year old Seagate 1 TB drive and found nothing wrong. I assume there is a problem with the drive
