[QUOTE="Exodist, post: 1623291, member: 284358"] First fill us in with your system specs, amount of data your backing up, the model drive your backing up to and if you are running through a network or usb hub. Also details of the network or USB hub. I have 2x WD MyBook drives for Mac (black and preformated, but I formatted again anyway). They are USB 3.0 and plugged directly into my USB 3.0 ports. Now only one is used for my backup, other is more storage. Initial backup of my system which is only about 1.2 TB of data, takes a very long time. A few hours or so, however daily and incremental backups are quick and seldom ever noticeable. Also you can start the backup at anytime by Right Clicking on the task bar icon and choosing Back Up Now. [/QUOTE]
