How long do your image backups take - Full Disk vs Diff vs Increment?
Just wanting to get an idea of backup completion times from other users out here...
I use the forum favorite Macrium Reflect for my image backups. Last night I ran a full image backup of my C: & D: drives and it took approx 2 hrs & 50 mins for a full disk backup + image verification. Total amount of data was ~450GB compressed to a MReflect 350GB image. It was clear the bottleneck during the transfer was my 2TB My Passport as my boot & storage drives are an M.2 1TB NVMe SSD & a 2.5" 500GB SSD respectively.
So, how long do your backups take on average & how often do you do these? Please state what program you use as well as the storage mediums you have as the source & destination (e.g tradition external HDD or a off-site/on-site NAS hardwired). And would also like to know if others use the image verification feature as well.
