Hi
I put (2) new drives into my computer. One for the C;/, one for D;/. The old drives were 512 native, the new drives are larger and 4k, in anticipation (and expectation) that R2 will work. The O.S. is on C;/. I moved things around, so I couldn't use my whole backup, just bits and pieces. I used the SRD in the DOS environment after the operating system was installed. Worked good for My Music, My Documents, My Pictures, etc. SSR2013 was not installed on the system's new drive.
I then took the RP for the old D;/ drive and started a restore to the new D;/ drive. After 48 hours of restoring, it looked by the progress and performance bar, that this would take 5 or 6 days of running (500GB). It went to about the 72 hour mark, and then suddenly rebooted into Windows with only half done.
So what did I do wrong?
- Can you restore from 4k to 4k? I realize that as of now, Source drives can't be 4K.
- Do you need the SSR2013 program installed to use the SRD? I'm guessing not, all the User Account stuff went fine.
- What transfer rates can a home user expect- ballpark? 40MB/second, is that a reasonable guesstimate?
- My operating system is Win7,64 bit.
- i7 Quad 4 processor @ 2.8 GHz
- 16 Gigs DDR3 @ 1380
- System is USB 2.0
- Was moving 500 GB of data only (no programs)
- Files were wonky extensions. CR2, HR2, PZ2, PP2, LT2, etc.
- This data (500GiGs) backs up in 6 hours, restore looked like it would take 108 hours, but quit after half done.
Halp! My confidence in the product has really taken a hit. Any ideas?
Thank you
