[QUOTE="Chuck57, post: 1019012, member: 75774"] I have Ashampoo Backup Pro 15 sitting and taking up space on this laptop. Until today, I'd never used it and forgot it was even here. It was a free giveaway a couple of years ago, and free attracts me. I ran a backup, the first, just for curiosity. [B]One hour from start to finish for 54.9G of data. [/B]That's the slowest I've ever encountered. I have not tried a restore, nor have I made a rescue disk since this was just a test to see if it really was a slow as people have said. I did unclick pause feature in Settings, so while it was leisurely doddering along I could use the laptop. I really like the ease of setting up a backup plan. It's so simple that even I didn't make a mistake. The other companies should take note. If Ashampoo could speed things up by half, it could become my primary backup software. This, of course, is with a hard disk drive. SSDs would be much quicker, but I'm cheap and this old HDD is still in good shape, so adding an SSD will have to wait. [/QUOTE]
