Glacial Copying (at least so it seems)
Dave and others ....
I'm using 2.5 on 10.5.1 creating a Smart Update fresh clone on a dedicated FW800 partition. The device is 500GB, and the partition (created today) is 250GB. I'm calling it Home Mirror. Transfer rates are excruciating. The fastest rate i have seen is under 6MB/sec. My transfer rates on Retrospect backups (which I also use for reduncancy) are usually something like 1600MB/min or about 25 times as fast! Surely something is wrong here? I'm backing up only Mac files. Just realized from reading other posts that I can also back up my Fusion files, which will cause me to reconfigure things a bit. Yay, though! What is going on? Is this to be expected, or (as i expect and hope) a very strange anomaly? Thanks! Best, - Bill |

Any AntiVirus running here?
Remember that Retrospect is streaming to one huge file. SD! is creating a ton of teeny ones...

Sure. I do have Norton Autoprotect running, but I didn't see any signs of activity and don't have it set to scan removable drives. I don't trust it to keep quiet of course. Next time it's that slow, I will check Activity and see if Norton is active.
It finally finished, and I tried an incremental backup. The rate seemed dramatically faster. Is that speed what you would expect in first mirror of a 160GB internal drive? Thanks, Dave. |

I expect 4-6MB/s on a power PC (to FireWire) and 8-12MB/s to FireWire on Intel.
