    I found R&R too slow and consumes too many resources, it was one of the things I uninstalled right away. It took 5 seconds off my boot time.

    Acronis is way better.

    I'd test R&R, but it stinks.

    I use Acronis as well. I just posted this as an informative thread. Rescue and Recovery actually still remains once you remove it - it stays on the hidden partition. I figure if I install 4.1, then uninstall it, it will update the RnR that's on the hidden partition, shoudl I ever need to use it ;)

    As long as it doesn't run in the background I'll be happy. I tried to schedule back ups once but it didn't work as planned.

    I also noticed that there was 2 threads sucking up 20 megs each doing nothing. The backups that did work were huge compared to Acronis.

    It caused hangs on start ups and slowed my boot up so much. The list goes on. Strangely the older version worked ok like the stock version that came on an R50.
