Hopefully it won't actually take 244 hours, oy! It did take 6 or 7 when I used it (DataRescue I) on an external Maxtor 120GB -- it was my backup disk, of course. It saved about 3 years of iPhotos, and ended up well worth the price, IMHO. I called Tech Support with questions while poking around with the demo version, they were very kind and treated me as if I was already a registered owner. Hope it works for you. peace, Linda
