After this is over it will be far faster, as you are only backing up new material. When I bought my IMac desktop and backed up/transferred files from my Macbook, it took 2 days. Now it just takes minutes to back up my file to my external drive, and that is all I back up these days.

I have just rather frighteningly discovered that my external hard disk has not been backed up for a long time because I excluded it from backup using Time Machine. As a result of including it now I needed a larger backup disk so I bought a G-Drive 2TB disk but it is taking for ever to back up. I only have just over 1TB to do, but it is saying it will take 56 days after running since last night (it is now 1.30 p.m. here). Is this normal? It has come down from around 73 days at 7 a.m. today.
