[QUOTE="JUKE179r, post: 1319634, member: 129964"] Is your 320GB Seagate External USB 2.0 portable drive powered by the USB2 port or an external power source? If you can, try using an external power sourced external HD. 3 days seems quite long. I use CCC all the time to back up my '07 MBP's 320GB (189GB full) internal HD to a 64GB thumb drive and it takes almost an hour. This being that I don't back up movies, music or pictures because I backed them up to a 2TB drive already. I just backup the system files and some documents which equals 47GB on the thumb drive so I can boot from it in case of an emergency. [/QUOTE]
