Oh. Sounds a lot like Terabyteunlimited ImageForWindows (IFW). I absolutely love IFW for its rock-solid reliability (although the user interface is sort of technical, which is good for me but not necessarily everyone else) ... And IFW support is absolutely excellent. Superb, I'm not kidding. Problem is, in order to do an incremental, IFW must read the whole source disk, AND the whole previous backup file, in order to generate the delta. So although it technically *can* do incrementals, it takes forever (as you've described for Druva) and hence not suitable for daily whole-system incremental backups. But very well suited for all other purposes. _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list [email protected] https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
