USMT - serious restore problems

G

Guest

Hi,

I have set USMT up, so it exactly fits our needs. It works perfectly - or so
I thought.
I have just released that the restore process takes exactly twice the amount
of time as the backup process did.
According to the migration.inf file, every file is copied twice - so that
explains it.
I just need some serious help to why it's doing this.

I'm calling scanstate like this:

scanstate.exe /user:dk\%1 /localonly /compress- /o /i:C:\USMT\miguser.inf /v 2

My miguser.inf:

[version]
Signature=$Windows NT$
DriverVer=07/01/2001,5.1.2535.0

[Copy This State]
copyfiles=Default CopyFiles
AddReg=Add Registry

Please tell me what I'm doing wrong here.

Is the OS language the same?

What I mean, if the source PC where you do the Scanstate is the same
language that you do your loadstate?

Yes, it's the same.
I've both tried to do it on a Win2000 -> Win2000 and Win2000 -> WinXP with
the same language on all of them.
Now I'm starting to wonder, when you're talking about languages. I have made
modifications to the sysfiles.ini file - which is about languages. I wonder
if that's the problem.

Going to test it now.. If if works, I thank you for the input. :)

Yes, it's the same.

I'm getting a picture of the problem here, but I just fail to see what I can
do about it.
If I look in the migration.inf file, there's a section called [File]. Here
are the files that doesn't have anything to do with the specified user (fx
the data2 directory, I've specified in the miguser.inf).
There's another section called [File|DK|frlarsen]. Here are the files for
the user, but also the other files that was taken care of in the first
section (again the data2 directory).

So it means that the data2 folder gets copied twice, and that's why the
restore job takes twice the time as the backup?

How on earth can I avoid this?
