How long should it take to backup a 250gig HD?
Hi,
I'm finding Superduper superslow while trying to back up my machine - it only has 170gigs used on the drive (Tiger 10.4.11), but after 1.5hrs, it's only copied 2,5gigs according to the status display. I'm saving to a sparse image on a USB Western Digital MyBook, could that be the issue? Any pointers appreciated. Thanks osu |

Sounds like your USB drive might be running in slow speed mode, yes. Multiple USB devices attached to the Mac?

Stop the backup, make sure you're not using a hub and the drive is plugged directly into the Mac with nothing else. Then, restart your Mac and give it another try.
