[QUOTE="MikeV99, post: 1292930, member: 201731"] I am backing up to a USB external drive. I don't expect it to be at the speed of light, but would like it to be faster than a snail's crawl. If I could get the incremental backups to be reasonably faster I would just do on demand backups with TM. I have googled this issue and have found others complaining about TM's slowness. However, no real solution. I am so new to the MAC world I am not sure what to do next. Maybe I should do a Lion Recovery and start with a fresh system? Does it wipe out everything or just rebuild system directories? ??? Mike [/QUOTE]
