Hi guys. Sometimes, I need to do regular RAW backups of some of my externally used 2’5" SSDs. Active Disk Image is a perfect tool for that. The thing with it, is that the process takes the whole day, and I can’t do it on my main computer (I have only one Windows device, which is a desktop).

Ideally, I would like to find something with the aforementioned functionality for Android, so that I launch the app on it, connect both the disk that needs to be backed up and another disk for storing that backup. And I could leave it for whatever time it needs. It doesn’t even make a singe noise, and I rarely use it.

If that’s not an option, at least I need an alternative for MacOS then. I guess I could turn off sleep and leave it for a day, but it’s undesirable, since I also use it regularly every day.

Any Android solutions please?

    Your problem is not the software, it’s the USB. You’re clearly using either an old pc or an old disk drive with a USB 1.x connection, which is why you’re getting 10-12 Mbps. Figure out where the bottleneck is and stop blaming the software.

      I’m not blaming the software! It’s just what I have for now (a usb container). All I want is to use Android to perform the required operation… So that I may not care about the time it takes.
