Why varying times for a Backup?
I have an i7 870 processor on a GA-P55A-UD7 motherboard running Win 7 64bit.
I backup (system image) about once a week to two different drives, both internal drives. I have an SSD for a system drive.
Generally my system images take 4 minutes. Every now and then they may take 7, 9 or 11 minutes.
Take this morning, I imaged to F: and it took 4 minutes. Immediately after this I imaged to G: and it took 7 minutes. F: and G: are identical 750Gb WD drives on same SATA interfaces. Another day it will take 9 minutes and 4 minutes.
Nothing else is running, no Skype, no browsers, nothing apart from internal Windows functions.
I would have thought, two images one after the other should take the approximately the same time each?
More often than not, it will take 4 minutes but why, every now and then, maybe on the same session, does the odd one take twice as long, sometimes 3 times as long?
It is really bugging me
