I like safety in my backups. So I regularly do both a System image

I did two today; Win10 took almost 2 hours, Macrium took 19mins.

1TB spinning HD, C partition occupies it all, apart from a few small
ones for reset etc. Which means that Macrium had even more to write.

Why is this? Why does Windows take so long? It's not doing anything
more than Macrium, and, in addition, it comes from MS themselves, the
creators of this system, the supposed connoisseurs.

The Win10 included app was designed and pretty much unchanged for much
older o/s than Win10.

Imo, you'd be better off to discontinue use of the MSFT ancient 'tool'
and make 2 Macrium backups if no other software is readily available.
Â*Â*- my personal approach is create 'duplicate time' images. One with
Acronis True Image and another with Macrium.




I've never had Macrium let me down; never, over many years. Take an
image, restore it, I've restored umpteen times.
I think I'll just cut the old "tool" (It's slow under Win7 too), and
have just Macrium.

P.S. Where is MS' new imager for their shiny new Win10 1803?
