Ghost 15 taking *forever* to restore files

Hi Folks,

 

I migrated my drive to a new computer, so before doing so, I backed it up with Ghost 15 to an archive drive.  I now am trying to extract the files from the backup image to a different folder on the archive drive so I can have easy access to them.  However, this process is taking *forever*!  It's on track to take 10 days to extract about 200 GB of files.

 

I have the backup image store on the local drive of a computer, and I am using the backup explorer to extract files to an attached USB drive.  The USB is not limiting the of restoration.  I can see that it's taking about half a second for ghost to restore a single file.  With hundreds and thousands of files, well...

 

It actually seemed to start up pretty quickly, but after a few hours, it slowed to a crawl. 

 

Any ideas out there for how I can speed up this horrible process?  Thanks!
