Acronis restore problems and glacially slow
I have just installed Acronis 2015 v6525 on a brand new PC running Win7. I ran a backup of the full machine that I wanted to move over from my old system. This was done to an external (USB3) drive. All worked fine. I then needed to work on the old machine for a bit, so I did an incremental backup to the same drive.
I installed Acronis 2015 on the new machine and tried to do various things.
I only really need certain files right now, so I tried double clicking on the tib file, navigated to the root dir of some files I wanted to restore and dragged them into their intended location. After the spinning wheel (wait icon) stopped, nothing was copied. I searched and found the next attempt
I mounted the tib. That took quite some time, but it eventually mounted. I repeated the steps from the above paragraph and got the same result. Nothing copied.
I then tried to individually copy select subdirs. This worked to a point, then I ran into a problem. When I went to copy my old user subdir (under documents and settings) there was nothing there. I had a permissions problem. I tried to "take ownership" of the subdir hierarchy (within the archive) but that didn't work. In all fairness, I did not expect it to.
I then ran the Acronis 2015 shell and tried to restore from there. It found the archive on the external drive, opened the archive, I selected my files, hit restore, the restore window came up with the time remaining, then nothing. 3 hours later and the percent was still 0%, I killed it. It turns out it had copied something as there were some dirs in the destination dir. 3 hours with no feedback on the screen at all is unacceptable.
I created an acronis boot disk. Still glacial.
I copied the two tib files onto the HD and used the boot disk again. I let this one run to completion. It took 12 hours to do the restore.
It did not take that long to backup! Took maybe 1 hr or so.
What is going on here? If I discover that I need to recover some file(s) I missed before, I am not willing to waste 12 more hours to do it.

Hello EC,
the thing is, that Acronis Linux environment doesn't support USB 3.0 and therefore the restore goes through USB 2.0.
In your case the WinPE-based media with USB 3.0 drivers should significantly speed up the recovery.
Thank you.
