How do i measure backup speed in Vista

[Avinash Kaur]

Hello Everybody,

I would like to know that how do i measure complete backup speed on my pc. I'm running Windows Vista on my system. It doesn't show any details whenever i try to run complete backup on my system. I would also like to know whether my folders or documents etc. will get saved if they are redirected to another drive, while doing a complete pc backup of C drive? And even also while trying to redirect it to E drive? Or it will require a separate backup to be done on my pc? Can any one help me out with this issue?

Thanks.

Here are a couple PC speedup tips that will get your Vista PC back up to speed.

1) Hardware Upkeep

Although there are many systems within your computer that make it great, it's the hardware itself that actually allows the PC to do it's thing. Having said that, be sure to take excellent care of your hardware. If you don't, well, you won't have a working PC for much longer.

Taking excellent care of your computer's hardware does not mean peeking at your computer's insides to make sure everything is "there" or "not on fire". As a matter of fact, even if something is wrong, you might not be able to tell from just looking at the computer itself. Therefore, take some proactive steps in order to make sure your hardware is safe & secure.

2) Registry Sweeps

By keeping good registry maintenance, you guarantee to speed up vista. No longer will you need to ask yourself, "How can I speed up my PC?"

The registry is in charge of keeping all vital information organized and readily available for your PC. When the computer needs something, the registry is where it turns to. So, this means if the registry becomes corrupted, the computer will have a bit of trouble getting what it needs and will be slowed drastically. You can easily prevent this debacle from happening by using reliable Windows repair software.

A good vista registry cleaner can scan & repair your PC's entire registry without you so much as lifting a finger. Well, to be honest, you will have to click the "Start" button in order to run the software -- but beyond that, you won't have to do much else. Although cleaning the registry may not solve all of your computer problems, it will definitely help in solving a few -- and thats a fact!

Yes, i think it should be able to check your E: drive as long as you are not backing up to that drive.

In order to speed up a complete pc backup, you need to upgrade your system. Try to upgrade your hardware with the latest hardware and delete all the files which are not required.
