Imaging speed

[borate]

The SSD drive images the alternate SATA drive's Windows 8 18.8G partition in about 28'.
The SATA drive images the alternate SSD drive's Windows 7 16.2G partition in about 14'.

Do those write times seem logical to other users?

[TeraByte Support(PP)]

Are those sizes the final image (TBI) file sizes, the used space, or the actual sizes of the partitions?

Is the destination drive the same for both backups? What type of drive is it?

Are you using the same backup options for both backups (same compression, for example)?

Not if 28" means 28 seconds. Can you post the IFW.LOG entry?

Yes, as shown in PROPERTIES in File Explorer.

Yes, it's the SATA...the drive that houses W7.

Description Local Fixed Disk
Compressed No
File System NTFS
Size 54.56 GB (58,587,082,752 bytes)

Precisely, and the same version of IFW.

I only wish. ^_^

YOUR wish is my command. W7 (resides on the SSD) Imaging was run from and backed up to the SATA disk (16.2G in about 14'.)

And here is W8 (resides on the SATA). Imaging was run from the SSD and backed up to the same SATA as above. 18.8G in about 28'.
(One might think that imaging from the SSD would be faster than that from the SATA. (The W8 file is larger, however.)

?????? missing the command line showing the options (if you had a password,
you could just block that out) and you're showing one doing a backup and one
doing a restore (writing is slower than reading).
