Absolutely FANTASTIC and "music to my ears" ! ! !

I can't wait. I have to do a full system backup Sunday for the initial
810 setup. We have the 620 with the 7GB 9427-210 and our last full
system backup was about the same as yours !

Thanks for that information.

Chuck

minutes
After:    825 w/ 400 GB 3581 LTO drive - full system backup: 2 hours, 41
