@Stowdon,
Thank you for the update. Take your time. A "Full Diagnostic" scan may take many hours on a 4 TB SSD. I have never done that with an SSD. My backup drives have always been HDDs, but when I get my next computer ...
You might want to take a look a Hard Disk Sentinel. I have lifetime licenses for both of my computers. It continually monitors the health of my internal drives, and it works for external drives as well. I have used it for years, and before that competing products, but HD Sentinel is, in my opinion, the "best-in-class."
In years past, I had two external WD HDDs go flaky on me before I had HD Sentinel. In both cases, it was my backup software program issues that alerted me to the failing drives. The Full Check Images would fail, even though that imaging program reported a successful backup.
In my view, the only backup that is really successful is the one you CAN use to restore! As a result, I do Full Check images with both of my computers when I do my Disk/Partition imaging,
Since backup programs write intensely to the SSD/HDD, it is understandable that possible issues would be surfaced by an imaging program.
I have little hesitation in guessing that either the Source or Target drive is problematic. The Hasleo Backup Suite is very fast. The times you are stating are FAR too long, and HBS does not get "stuck" unless there is an issue outside of its control.
I am going to be VERY interested in how HBS performs with your spare drive. If the result is the same, it will point to the Source Drive as being suspect.
I am going to be very interested in what @admin finds in the logs you submitted.
Good luck, and have a great day. Please keep us posted when you get the time.
Regards,
Phil
