It is hard to say precisely how long a Windows backup will take. Usually, the Windows backup process would complete about 30-40 minutes, according to the data or system size.

Several variables affect this. How much data need to be backed up? What method is being used for the backup? What kinds of drives do you use for backups? What sort of drives are you using for backup? Are the drives healthy?

First, determine how much data/files you want to back up. For example, if this backup is a full backup, it will take a long time to back up your computer since it means every single file on your computer will be included.

While if this backup is an incremental backup, it will take less time to back up your computer because only the changed files since the last full backup will be included in the backup.

If you want to back up your Windows computer, the best way is to use professional backup software, such as EaseUS Todo Backup.

EaseUS Todo Backup is a backup and recovery utility. It can help you automatically back up your computer's files, systems, disks, partitions, and apps. In addition, it allows you to perform different types of backups, such as full, differential and incremental backups. Finally, it is worth noting that you can enjoy 250G free cloud storage to store data.

It is hard to say precisely how long a Windows backup takes because it has too many factors to consider. However, if you use professional backup software like EaseUS Todo Backup to help you, your waiting time may be greatly reduced.
