That is because you haven't used Paragon v12.And the other day a total restore took only 16 minutes. That was the fastest I have seen.
I am not using an ssd.
On my system, it backs up and restores at about 4gb/min.
The first time I used it - it was so quick I thought something had gone wrong.
It is not without issues yet.
They are tinkering with a few things still - the mount drivers ( which are perfect on win7 ) do not work on win8 - there are a few other things they are looking into as well.
If they get those sorted out - there will be a free version at some stage.
I believe the free version will also support gpt ( which macrium does not ).
It seems to be taking them forever to get this thing out.
