  "Can't handle multiple partitions"

  August 4, 2012  |   By david_stu

  Pros

  Didn't use it long enough to find out

  Cons

  The first backup I tried to an NAS was about 200GB across 8 partitions (yes, I'm a developer and I partition my disks accordingly). After 2 hours it had backed up 288MB and showed 105 hours to go. Looking at the performance monitor, the disk was running 100% (and virtually nothing else could be done) but disk transfer rate was almost non-existent - in the neighborhood of a few mb/minute (normal is > 10mb/sec.). Obviously the program issued enough requests that the disk just thrashed trying to keep up and couldn't transfer data effectively. Cancelling the backup and the system returned to normal.

  Summary

  Maybe it's ok if you have one or two partitions, but with multiple ones it's completely worthless. No idea how restore works - I never got that far.

  Might be that this is for home use. You need the tech edition, not free.
