[QUOTE="asolo, post: 538409, member: 17717"] I've got 78gb worth of stuff on my iMac's HD. Time-Machine set-up took about 80 minutes to handle that initially. Other aps worked more slowly during that time. From what I've seen since, additional back-up intervals have taken seconds. I generally turn my external HD off and forget it. It comes on again when I turn my machine on in the morning. I let it do its thing for a few seconds and when it's done I turn it off again. Works for me. If I was doing crucial work throughout the course of my day, I'd leave it on. I have LaCie D2 250gb external drive using fire-wire 400. [/QUOTE]
