Smart Backup is very slow
I'm doing smart backup with Backup - all Files. But it takes about 2 hours, even if a do it immediately after a previous backup. (A similar thing with Psync used to take less than 2 minutes).
As I watch the bar progress I can see 'Copy Files from G5 to Backup' and folders like /Users/me/tmp (for example) being copied which definitely haven't been updated recently. Any ideas. |
It's very likely that the problem is that you have a *lot* of "floating" files, macgruder. I discuss these files in my blog @ http://www.shirt-pocket.com/blog.
Of course, the discussion doesn't help you get things to go fast! So -- let's do that. What we want to do is "lock" down the files to the proper user id. To do that, I'll need some data for you -- and it's probably best if we do this in support. So, open Terminal and send the output of the following commands to me @ support - at - shirt-pocket.com: id Then: ls -l Then: sudo ls -l Thanks! We'll get you sped up in no time. |
