![]() ![]() On my setup using a USB 3 external drive and Paragon’s “ default” compression setting, it takes ~8 mins to complete a full image backup and ~15 mins to complete a full image restore. Note: while it’s possible to set the compression level to a higher value to get smaller backup files, doing so causes the backups/restores to take longer to complete. my main Win10 drive is a 500GB SSD but only 58.2GB is actually “ in use” and my Paragon backups are only ~33GB each. ![]() Paragon’s manual indicates the recovery USB only needs to be 512MB but I’d suggest getting one as least large enough to also hold a single image backup of your drive.Īs for what size external USB drive to get, it depends on how large your backups are and how many “ different” backups you want to keep.īTW, the “ size” of your backups will not be the same as the “ size” of the drive being backed up because Paragon, like other backup programs, doesn’t backup “ empty sectors” on a disc and it compresses the backup so its final size will actually be less than the total used space on your drive. ![]()
