Another thing that could make it take longer is if the op is using a
laptop. The laptop dvd drives are still slower than desktop drives by a
fair amount. No chance that was going to fit on one cd, though. It
will compress, but I'd be surprised if a windows 7 system would even fit
on one dvd.

no, but I also don't think the win 7 stock backup is definable enough to
reduce the amount of stuff in the save to that of a CD disk... since your
supposed to have 2 Gbytes for XP and 10 for win 7, and a CD holds 650 megs
on the average
maybe... maybe a DVD will do it on your system, I would make the backup save
on the C: drive and then check the properties of the file created to see how
much room your going to need on a seperate drive/object

Subject: [JAWS-Users] backup and restore option
I was looking at this last night, I thought I ought to do a backup.
Does this backup option within windows seven take forever or am I doing
something wrong?
I realise the obvious that it depends on whats on the system but I can
assure you I have very little on my laptop compared to most users, no
pictures, music etc.
I was backing up to a cd last night, it was going for anout 2 hours and was
only at 34 percent, does this seem right? I stopped it and went to bed.
Appreciate any help
Regards
Graham
