Unfortuneately I am also seeing the same issues with 6.4.1. A full backup to USB drive that took approx. 8 hours with 6.4.0 takes about 3 days with 6.4.1.

Hi dsnpevl,
Load the latest Beta Firmware and let us know if it addresses the issue that you encountered.

Uploaded the latest beta firmware and rebooted. The firmware version in the Admin pages now lists "6.4.2-T59". Manually started the backup, but it is doing an incremental backup. As there were little to no changes to the data, it toke only a few minutes to complete (see below). Will get back to you with the results on the duration of the full backup next year.
