I've never had a 'fast' computer in my life. I'm not believing these backup times!
105GB Full backup took .53 seconds, Read/Write @ 47GB/s second.
How's yours doing?!

Hi, just wondering- where are you saving your image file? What hardware is involved? Seems to suggest you're saving it on an internal disk- nVME SSD perhaps?

Don't get too excited
... that's 47-gigabits/sec not gigaBYTES/sec. That looks like the speed of a PCiE v4-based NvME storage device with a decent CPU behind the processing. But it looks pretty good!

Yes, saving to internal M2 nvme. Computer listed in system specs.
Yes, I can browse the image just fine, it mounts it right up. I mean just double-clicking the image.

Nice plug for Macrium, if only we all had those components in our PC's.
