Slow backup

I have two identical WD USB disks and I made a backup from one disk to the other and this lasted more then 22 hours!
Is this normal?

Well, 6MB/s or so isn't out of line. Were these two externals running on USB or something?

That's likely why it was running slowly, then... two USB drives on the same bus, not that fast.

I'm sure Dave will notice, but believe he meant "same BUS" in his last line, not "same BUG."

Whilst not taking 22 hours, I do find that incremental/smart backups over FW are now taking 35 minutes in 10.6, when they took about 15 minutes in 10.5.

That's a different issue: see the discussion at the Shirt Pocket Watch blog.
