Transfering 930GB to USB 2,5 days normal?
See question in subject line and my settings in the signature. 2,5days for transferring 930MB directly to the USB-disk via the front contact seems a lot... Or is it as expected?
The network backup would take slightly more than a day using fast ethernet; or about 15 hours with gigabit. That's assuming about 10 MB/s over fast ethernet, and 18 MB/s over gigabit. (gigabit numbers are conservative).
If you have the space on a PC, you could start a new network backup in parallel with the USB one you have running - at this point its not clear which would finish first, as it depends on how big a head start the USB copy has.
If you are comfortable with windows command line, I recommend using robocopy (which should already on the PC). Teracopy is also a reasonable choice.
BTW, USB is slow on the NV+, there really isn't much you can do to speed it up.
