Backup
I tried to do a backup of the current state of Gudrun – the company laptop – started it yesterday evening, but this morning – eight hours later – it was at just 30%, for a backup of the same size of the previous full backup, though a bit larger. But where Vista used just over 30 minutes for 40 Gb, I don’t understand why the 64-bit Win-7 backup will do just about 20 Gb – in 8 hours! So I had to stop the backup.
Restoring files (needed once more since something removed edited and newly created files???) works like it should: files are restored in the blink of an eye. So I doubt its the disk causing problems. Unless writing takes ages…
I asked in the Windows forum – no answer (yet).
I’ve tried changed the settings and limited the number of directories to be backed up, but Backup grinds to an almost stop after 5% or so has been completed.
I guess I’ll be better off by simply zip what I want to save and write the resulting file to external storage. It might well be quicker.
