Imaging times and USB 2 devices

[robertd]

I have just upgraded from BootIt NG to BootIt BM and have been trying out IFD to implement my backup strategy. When using either the GUI or scripts to image a 10 gigabyte hard drive partition to a USB 2.0 storage device the the time taken to complete the task is about four and a hours. Using BootIT NG this task would take about 30 minutes. I have obviously missed something in setting the task up and I wonder if anyone could help me in suggesting what that might be.

This is the script that i ran

sub main()
exec("^"c:\image.exe^" /b /db0@0xe2 /f:b2@0x0201:^"\appdata^"", 1)
end sub

should /f:b2@0x0201:^"\appdata^" be /f:ub2@0x0201:^"\appdata^" to indicate that its a USB device ?

Thanks for your help

If you used the USB bus option, yes you'd have to use the "u" modifier but
it starts at zero again, so u0 if you have just the one USB drive attached.
