Time Machine slow after 6.5.2 update
It may be a coincidence, but I just updated my ReadyNAS to firmware 6.5.2. I back up three Macs to the TimeMachine i have on the unit. The time machines have worked fine since when I purchased it, very quick (other than the initial) or if I have turned off TM on the mac for other reasons, it may take a little longer to back up. Currently one one MAC is on and being backed up, the other are laptops and are not in use. Yesterday, I noticed that timemachine was backing up a LARGE change--a downloaded back up a website that I had moved off to a seperate storage area. The compressed file was 1.2GB. When I checked in on the Progress of the back up, it seemed hung at 980MB of 2.5GB and estimated 6 hours to complete. That is FAR ouside the range of normal time range I stopped the back up, deleted the large file and let TIme machine restart to run overnight. This monring it is sitting at 538.7MB of 1.38GB, an estimate of 10 hours... and it takes 45 seconds per each 0.1MB to tick off. Anyone else having issues? Is there something I am missing?5.6KViews0likes28Comments
