Please tell me first what version are you using? 1.0.4.337 or 2.0.7.69? We can offer support only for 2.0.7.69. If you are using the latest beta version , please give us more details about the issue: what options did you use for backup, what files did you backup. Also, please tell us what other programs do you have installed. Thank you for your support.

This happen with 2.0.7.69.
I had selected (back up selection type) System
Archive type: maximum
Back up path: C:/Backup
Please do take note that it was a test in Virtual PC 2007 sp1
I tried to reproduce your problem on a test computer but the restoration worked fine. We would be grateful if you tell us all the programs installed on your computer to see if one of them locks the drive.
The timer of the applications is calculated when the operations starts (in this case the backup process). If the size of some files is modified after the backup starts, then it’s very normal that the operation takes longer than the time displayed at the beggining.
Did the program just crash unexpectedly or it just said and error has occurred and then you could continue on using it?I can’t figure out exactly what the attached screen shot means.
