More information regarding TM's backup phases:
The duration of each of the three phases of a TM backup on my Mac are:
-- Calculating Changes: Approximately 9 minutes;
-- Preparation of items: Approximately 3 minutes;
-- Writing of items to the backup drive: Approximately 1 hour to 1-hour-10 minutes.
The very sporadic activity which includes several starts with brief writing bursts & pauses takes place within the writing-of-items phase. That is, the last 1+ hour.
Maybe identification of the phases timings will help.
