Hi, Marc -

I was using Acronis True Image purchased from Acronis, not a utility that came with a disk. My restores have never taken more than a few hours. Of course, if your external drive is USB-1, then yes, I can see that, but with a USB-2 (or now even USB-3, or even Firewire), it is pretty quick.
