Using the Automated System Recovery Wizard and after all files are backed up
the Utility will not write to the 'A' drive. It has does this for several
backups.
I have used the System Restore functions to create the files, but I would
rather not have to do that each time.

Also, the last time I did a backup it took 15 hours to back up 60 gigs.
Another computer did this in about 2 hours. Both were backed up to external
hard drives, but not the same one.

Any ideas or help appreciate.
