I'm trying to use XP backup to back up everything (about 10 GB) from
the 2 x 120GB SATA hard drives on my PC to a 200GB SATA drive in a
caddy connected directly to the mother board. My normal backup software
Acronis does this in 10 min. I am trying to use XP backup as an extra
safety precaution in case something goes wrong with Acronis. However,
XP Backup keeps changing its mind but estimates sometimes it will take
5 hours. I would expect it to take longer but not that much longer. At
that rate, 5 hours for 10GB , when the disks were full at 200GB the
backup would take 100 hours. I wondered if Acronis had written
something to the disk to speed their software up but they assure me
this is not the case. Could anyone tell me if there is a way for XP
backup to do it much faster.
