I'm not suggesting Acronis is bad, it's worked OK in my limited experience. I'm just trying to isolate apps, services or processes that may hook the file system with a possible performance hit.
I've already suggested pretty much all of my troubleshooting suite with this issue. Do you have any other ideas?
