TimeMachine Maverics works - but super slow!
I have a MacBook Pro with a 1TB drive backing up to a Ultra 2 with the os 6 legacy (latest). Both are connected to a wired 100Mbts network. What speed can I expect? It's like 5Gb/h or somehting. Any s...
A 100 mbit network should be able to sustain 36 GB per hour (about 10 MB/s). On a gigabit network you should be able to get about 200 GB/hour for large file transfers with the ultra if you have enough speed in the PC to keep up. Though you won't get that with a USB 2.0 drive.
Gigabit switches are inexpensive, so that is recommended. You will need cat 5e or better cabling.
A direct connection to the Mac is certainly possible, and should improve your speeds. Set the ultra to a static IP address first (and you will of course need to do the same with the mac).
You could also try turning off any antivirus or security software on the PC.
