Dear All,
Can you help? I have recently bought a new PC - see below - and am pleased with it. I used it for photography and like to back up my work daily on an external hard drive. With my previous old XP machine this was fine and the time using Acronis True Image were not intrusive either for full backups or the daily incremental back ups. Now with my new machine it is incredibly slow - several days!!! - for the same files (~170 Gb) to the same external hard drive. I have searched the web and find that I am not alone, but the solutions offered do not work. I have altered the "policy" on the hard drive to "performance", but that does not make a noticeable difference.
The operating system I have installed in Win 7 Professional 64 bit.
Suggestions please!!
Yours,
John
