Backup taking a very long time and stuck on ~2 hours time left
New very fast Win 7 computer and installed newest True Image 2013. I started a new full image backup and it is still going 26 hours later. It has been stuck on "Time left: +/- 2 hours" for at least 6 hours with green bar stuck at around 90% (estimated time going up a few minutes, not down).
I am backing up 3 internal drives with a total of about 400GB of data to external 2TB drive via FW.
I used all default settings for compression, etc.
thanks for any help on how to make time shorter and get this completed.
I will want to make regular incremental backups, if this one will ever complete.

Thanks James, for the response.
I don't think I enabled sector-by-sector, I just selected the drives and destination and started it.
It's a disk/partition backup. I have 3 independent disks.
The backup is still running right now, still saying 2 hours to go. Maybe I should cancel out of it so the log and settings can be checked.

I tried Cancelling and no response and computer locked up. Had to do a hard reboot.
Started the True Image backup again after reboot. At first it said "Time left: 2 hours". Then in a little while it said 7 hours to go, then the estimate gradually increased until it got to "Time left: 13 hours". I cancelled, and that worked this time.
Then I tried a different hard drive, but still the long time estimate happened with that too.
Compression is set to Normal and sector-by-sector is not checked.
Any ideas?

I want to add that 350GB of data was copied to the external drive and when I try to open/view it with True Image it says it is locked or corrupted.

What build of 2013 are you running?

Was there a resolution to this question. I continue to struggle with excessive backup times very similar to the problem described here.

Me Too!
I have a moderately fast W7 machine; and I am backing up to a WD Network Drive.
Backup sometimes fails to automatically start at 11 PM for a few days, then it resumes, but takes a very long time.

I have a very fast Win7 based PC, a 1Gb/s LAN and a Netgear NAS which copes very well with large files being thrown at it - cannot be described as slow.
However ATIH2013 regularly fails to synchronise my data files to the NAS and/or to the Winserver2011 folders due to timeouts.
Backups of the 120Gb SSD drive and 250Gb SATA2 drive takes in excess of 20 hours and often fail.
