Gerry,

Firewall 800 should be pretty fast, much less than 56 days. Much faster than 
backing up to a NAS gigabit Ethernet. Over a gigabit Ethernet connection to 
my home-built NAS, I've seen backups as fast as 80-100 MB/s in bursts. 
Bigger (RAW) files makes the backups go much faster. If you have lots of 
little files, it's gonna to take longer.

When I backup my laptop (about 1TB of storage) to a new Time Machine over 
gigabit Ethernet, it takes about 12 hours. I am lazy and just let it run 
overnight.

Regards,
Spencer
