Question After-imaging File Size

[BigSlick]

Thanks.

It's Windows Server 2008.

I'll try the import, export process. Se what that returns.

Thanks all.

I have seen changing the priority of the Scheduled Task speed up a probkup considerably (3 0r 4 times faster in some cases), so certainly worth trying in this case.

I've managed to export and import the task and it does seem to be behaving better with a higher priority, although the subsequent rfutil command is called inside the .bat as;

%COMSPEC% /C _rfutil.exe %db% -C roll forward -B 5000 -a %ai%.ai%ai-num%

and using ProcExp it's showing as the rfutil command running at a 'normal' priority.

I'll have to test an alternate way to call _rfutil so i can set the priority.

Thanks for you help guys.

Normal priority should be fine. That's what it would be if you ran it interactively. You don't want to be below normal, but manually adjusting a process' priority above normal isn't something I'd mess with. It could have unintended consequences, like taking cycles from DB threads.
