#271 merging needs endless time when amount of data is high

[pete11]

Hello,

I tried out areca 7.3.5 and was at the beginning very impressed, because it worked well.
I made differential backups for on week and then came the moment of the first merge and this
was not very amusing. Ich have a very large amount of Date (220GB), and the merging process
needed endless. I saw then that this process first copies the entire backup to an temp-folder,then it makes the merging and copies afterwards the backup back to the default-folder. So there is running a double-coping of the entire data. Is this intented und is there no other way? I mean how do other Backup-solutions make this? I think Areca is not usable when the amount of data ist very high only when there are few data. Or am i wrong?

Thank for any suggestions

best regards
