Q: time machine take ages to perform a back up
I have 9 months with a time capsule device beign used with a Mac Mini without troubles. 3 months ago I just bought a 11¨ Mac Book Air (OS X 10.7.5). For 2 month its Time- machine app performed back-up's in the Time Capsule in normal standards (as I used to experiece with the Mac Mini). However, since september 24th something went worng and time machine takes ages (it calculates 51 days) to perform a back up of the MacBook Air, of course I haven`t been patient enough to leave the MacBook Air performing the back-up for 51 days. The curious thing is that it keeps working normally with the Mac Mini despite I have updated to Lion (OSX 10.8.2) for Leopard within this period. I have looked for answer in forums and apparently is a recurrrent problem, and the official aswers from Apple Staff are really poor and simple. Is there any solution to my problem or the MacBook Air has to become a desktop device in order to be able to have back up from it?
