File/folder Backup progress bar accuracy

Thread needs solution

The backup progress bar seems to be wildly misleading.

This morning I ran a new 7GB folder backup. The progress bar filled (green) to about 98% in the first 10 seconds, with a message telling me that less than 1 minute of backup time remained. The remaining 2% of the progress bar then took about 7 minutes to fill.

Last night a new 96GB folder backup predicted between 40 minutes and 4 hours to complete - fluctuating between these extremes for the first few minutes. It then settled down to an estimate of less than 1 minute to complete and showed this for the next hour or so.

Is this expected behaviour?

Yes. The completion estimates have always, at least in my use of sevveral versions on many PCs, been unreliable.
